PREFACE 

While there is li-ttle a foundryman needs to know 
which has not been fully treated by competent authori- 
ties, there is not, so far as I am aware, any summary of 
this great mass of publications. 

In a foundry experience covering many years, I have 
frequently spent hours at a time in searching for special 
information. Believing, therefore, that a compilation of 
this matter, with authoritative instruction for the solu- 
tion of the many problems which are continually pre- 
sented in the foundry, all properly arranged for ready 
reference, would receive a favorable reception, an attempt 
has been made to meet this need by the production of 
this book. 

The material for the Manual has been drawn from 
every available source. The proceedings of the American 
Foundrymen's Association have furnished no end of 
information. The publications of Professors Turner, 
Porter, Reis, Dr. Moldenke, Messrs. Keep, Longmuir, 
Outerbridge, West and others have been most carefully 
searched. Much has been taken from " The Foundry," 
" Castings " and " Iron Age." A great many of the 
" Foundry " records are given in full. 

Possibly, in some cases, special credit for extracts 
has not been accorded; for such omissions indulgence 
is asked, as there has been no intentional neglect or 
lack of courtesy. 



iv Preface 

In tlu- sck'ction of the iiKilcrial for the Ijook, i)ropcr 
consideration has Ijccn takt-n of Ix-Kinners and others 
who niay ha\e not gotten xcry far in their acfjuisition 
of foundry information. For such men, it is also hoped 
the bo(jk will be of good service. 

As regards the price lists and discounts which are 
given in connection with man)- ftjundry supplies, it 
should be stated that these are not quoted as current 
prices. They are olTered simply as furnishing a guide 
to close approximation of costs. 

The matter for the preliminary portion of the book 
relating to elementary Mathematics, Mechanics, etc., 
has been taken in large part from such authorities as 
Rankine, Bartlett, Wentworth, Trautwine, Kent, Jones 
and Laughlin, Carnegie Steel Co., and the Encyclopedia 
Britannica.

ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS 



CHAPTER I 
SECTION I 

ARITHMETIC 

It is deemed unnecessary to present anything under this branch of 
mathematics, except Ratio and Proportion, Square and Cube Roots, 
AUigation and Percentage. These operations are applied so frequently 
in the foundry that, it is believed, a simple explanation of them will not 
be out of place. 

Ratio and Proportion 

The ratio of two numbers is the relation which the first bears to the 
second and is equivalent to a fraction obtained by dividing the first 
number by the second. 

Thus: 5:7 = 5 or 7:5 = 1. 

When the first of four numbers is the same fraction of the second, as 
the third is of the fourth, the first has the same ratio to the second as the 
third has to the fourth, and the four numbers are in proportion. Pro- 
portion, therefore, is the equality of two ratios. 

Thus: 

I = T5 = I- 

The proportion is expressed, 4 : 6 :: 10 : 15, and is read, 4 is to 6 as 10 
is to 15. The first and fourth terms are called the extremes; the second 
and third the means. 

The product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means; 
thus in the above proportion 4 X 15 = 6 X 10 = 60. Hence where 
three terms of the proportion are known the fourth can be found.

2 Arithmclic 

Thus: Find the numlxir to which lo bears the same ratio as 4 does to 6. 
4 : f) :: lo : re(iuired number. 

Required number e(|uals "/ = '5- 

Where one extreme and both means are known, to find the other 
extreme, divide the product of the means by the known extreme. 

Where Ijolh extremes ami one mean are known, to find the other mean, 
divide the prcKiuct of the extremes by the known mean. 

I'or the purpose of illustrating these rules replace the figures in a 
proportion, by the letters .1, B, C, D, and write .1 : B :: C : D; then, 

AD 

To state the terms of a simple proportion where three are given; 
l)lacc that as the third term which is of the same kind as the required 
lerm; then consider whether the required term should be greater or less 
than the third term; if greater, make the greater of the two remaining 
terms the second and the other the first term. But if the required term 
should be less than the third term, place the smaller of the first two as 
tiie second term and the greater as the first. 

Thus: What is the price, per net ton, of pig iron sold at $17.50 gross 
ton? 

.'Vs the price is required, Si 7.50 becomes the third term. Since the 
net price is less than the gross, 2000 is the second term and 2240 the first. 
Tlie proportion is then written: 

2240 : 2000 :: Si 7.50 : answer. 

2000 X Si 7.50 



2240 



Si 5. 62 = required price. 



.'\gain the ratio of net to gross is m^ = .892 +. Therefore, the net 
price is equal to the gross multiplied by 0.892 +; or Si 7.50 X .892 = 
S15.62; or the net price being known the gross is equal to the net miilli- 
]jiied by UU; $15.62 X 1.12 = Si7-50- 

Compound Propojtion 

Where the ratio of two quantities depends upon a combination of 
other ratios, the proportion becomes a compound proportion. In this 
as in simple proportion, there is but one third term, and it is of the same 
kind as the required term; there may be two or more first and second 
terms. Set down the third term as in simple proportion; consider each 
pair of terms of the same kind separately and as terms of a simple pro- 
portion, and arrange them in the same manner, making the greater of

the pair the second term, if the answer considered with reference to this 
pair alone should be greater than the third term; or the reverse if it 
should be less. 

Set down the terms under each other in their order of first and second 
terms. Multiply the product of all the second terms by the third term 
and divide this product by that of all the first terms. 

Example. — If 36 men working 10 hours per day perform f of a piece 
of work in 17 days, how long must 25 men work daily to complete the 
work in 16 days? 

The length of the day will be greater the fewer the men, and the fewer 
the days are; and less, the less the work is; hence, the above problem 
is stated as follows: 



5ji- = 10.2 hours per day. 



Roots of Numbers 

To Extract the Square Root of a Given Number 

Point off the number into periods of two figures each, beginning with 
units; if there are decimals, begin at the decimal point, separating the 
whole number to the left and the decimal to the right into such periods, 
supplying as many ciphers in groups of two, as may be desired. 

Find the greatest number whose square is less than the first left hand 
period and place this to the right of the given nvunber as the first figure 
of the root. Subtract its square from the first left hand period and to 
the remainder annex the second period for a dividend. 

Place before this as a partial divisor, double the root figure just found. 
Find how many times the dividend, exclusive of its right hand figure, 
contains the divisor, and place the quotient as the second figure of the 
root, and also at the right of the partial divisor. 

Multiply the divisor thus completed, by the second root figure and 
subtract the product from the dividend. To this remainder annex the 
next period for a new dividend, and double the two root figures for a 
new partial divisor. Proceed as before until all the periods have been 
brought down.

To Extract the Square Root of a Fraction 
Find the roots of the numerator and denominator separately; or 
reduce to a decimal and take its root.

Example.— \/^= —p^ = 7; "r r^ = 0.5625, V0.5625 = 0.75. 
T lb V16 4 10 

To Extract the Cube Root of a Number 
Beginning; at the right, point off the number into periods of three 
figures each. If there are decimals, begin at the decimal point, separate 
the whole number to the left, and the decimal at the right into such 
periods; find the greatest cube conLained in the left-hand period, and 
write its root as the first figure of the root required. 

Subtract the cube of the first root figure from the left-hand period, 
and to the remainder annex the ne.\t period for a dividend. Then 
multiply the square of the first figure of the root by 300 and use the prod- 
uct as a trial divisor; write the quotient as the second root figure. 
Complete the trial divisor by adding to it 30 times the product of the 
first root figure by the second, and the square of the second; multiply 
the com[ileted divisor by the second root figure and subtract the product 
from the di\adend. To the remainder annex the next period and proceed 
as before, to find the third figure of the root, i.e., square the first two 
figures of the root and multiply by 300 for a trial divisor. To this add 
30 times the product of the first two root figures by the third, and the 
square of the third for the completed divisor, etc. 

The cube root will always contain as many figures as there are periods 
in the given number. 



Percentage 

Example. — Extract the cube root of 78, 402, 752 

78'402'752/428.

4^ X 300 = 4800 14402

42 X 8 X 30 = 10080 
82 = 64 



539344 4314752 



Alligation 
Alligation is the process of determining the value of a mixture of 
different substances, when the quantity and value of each substance 
is known. * 

Ride. — Take the sum of all the products of the quantity of each 
substance by its respective price, and divide it by the total quantity; 
the result is the value of one unit of the mixture. 

Example. — What is the value per ton of a mixture containing 500 lbs. 
of pig iron at $18.00 per ton, 275 lbs. at $16.50 and 800 lbs. of scrap at

Percentage covers the operations of finding the part of a given 
number at a given rate per cent; as 6 per cent of 2750, 2750 X .06 = 
165.00; of finding what per cent one number is of another as: WTiat 
per cent of 780 is 39? 

39 -^ 780 = .05 per cent; 
of ascertaining a number when an amount is given, which is a given 
per cent of that number; as 62.5 is .04 per cent of what number? 
62.5 -H .04 = 1562.5.

SECTION II 
ALGEBRA 

In algebra quantities of every kind are denoted by letters of the 
alphabet. 

The first letters of the alphabet are used to denote known quantities, 
and the last letters unknown quantities. 

The sign + (plns) denotes that the quantity before which it is placed 
is to be added to some other quantity. Thus: a + b denotes the sum 
of a and b. 

The sign — (minus) denotes that the quantity before which it is 
placed is to be subtracted from some other quantity. Thus: a — b 
denotes that b is to be subtracted from a. 

When no sign is prefixed to a quantity, + is always understood. 

Quantities are said to have like or unlike signs, according as their 
signs are like or unlike. 



8 AlReljra 

A quantity which consists of one term is said to be simple; but if it 
consists of several terms connected ljy the signs + or — , it is said to be 
comjKJund. Thus: a or — b arc simple quantities; but — a — 6 is a 
compound <|uaiility. 

Addition of Like Quantities 

Add together the tocliiLicnts uf ihc c|uanlilies having like signs, and 
subtract the negative sum from the positive. Thus: Add 7 a + 2 a, 
^a — a, and 60 — 40. 

7 (i — a 

2 a — 4 a 

3a 
6a 



18a — 5 a = 13 o. 

Addition of Unlike Quantities 

If some of the quanlilics are unlike, proceed as before with each like 
quantity, and write down the algebraic sum of all the quantities. Thus: 
Add 70 + 26, 3 a — i, 66 — 4a and 50-46. 

70-40 26— b 
Sa — 66 — 46 

150- 40 86 — 56 
-40 - 5 6 

11 a 36 

Ans'd'cr = 11 o + 3 6. 

The process is the same with compound quantities. Thus: Add 
0-6 + 2 cd^ to - 2 a^b + c(P = 3cd"- - a^b. 

Subtraction 

Change the sign of the subtrahend and proceed as in addition. Thus: 
Subtract 3 0-6 — 9 c from 40^6 + c; changing the signs of the subtra- 
hend and adding, the expressions may be written 

4 0^6 — 3 o''6 + f + 9 f or 0*6 -(- 10 c. 

Multiplication 

If the quantities to be multiplied have like signs, the sign of the 
product is +; if they have unlike signs, that of the jiroduct is — . 



Powers of Quantities 9 

Of Simple Quantities 

Multiply the coefficients together and prefix the + or — sign, accord- 
ing as the signs of the quantities are like or unlike. Thus: 
Multiply + ahy + b. Product equals -{- ab. 
Multiply + 5 6 by — 4 c. Product equals — 20 be. 
Multiply — 3 ax by + 7 a&- Product equals — 21 a'bx. 

Of Compound Quantities 

Multiply each term of the multiplicand by all the terms of the multi- 
plier, one after the other as by former rule; collect their products into 
one sum for the required product. 
Example. — 

Multiply a — b + c 
by a -\- b — e

2 x^ — 2, xy — 2 y^ 

Powers of Quantities 

The products arising from the continued multiplication of the same 
quantity by itself are called powers of that quantity; and the quantity 
itself is called the root. 

The product of two or more powers of any quantity is the quantity 
with an exponent equal to the sum of the exponents of the powers. 
Thus: 

a^ X d^ = fl'; a^b X ab = aW; 4 a5 X — 3 ac = — 12 a%e. 
The square of the sum of two quantities equals the sum of their 
squares plus twice their product. 

{a + &)2 = a2 + 52 4. 2 ab. 
The square of the difference of two quantities is the sum of their 
squares minus twice their product. 

(a — 6)2 = a^ -f 6^ — 2 ab. 



lo Algebra 

The prmlutl of the sum an<l difTcrencc of two quaotilics is equal to 
the difTcrencc o{ liieir squarcb. 

(a f b) (a-b) =a^- I?. 

The squares of half the sum of two quantities is equal lo their product 
plus the scjuarc of half their difTcrencc. 

Thus: (a + A)» , , (<j - 6)» 
— — = u« i 

2 2 

The square of a trinomial is equal to the sum of the squares of each 
term plus twice the product of each term by each of its following terms- 

Thus: (a + 6 -f c)* = a* -f t^ + c' + 2 aft + 2 or + 2 6c. 

(a — 6 — c)* = a' + 6* + c' — 2 a6 — 2 ac + 2 6c. 

Parenthesis ( ) 

When a parenthesis is preceded by a plus sign, it may be removed 
without changing the value of the expression. 

Thus: {a-\-b) + {a-\-b) = 2a + 2h. 

But if preceded by a minus sign, if removed, the signs of all the terms 
within the parenthesis must be changed. 

Thus: {a-\-b)-{a-b)=a-\-h-a + h = 2b. 

When a parenthesis is within a parenthesis, remove the inner one -first. 

Thus: a-\h-[c-{d- c)]] = a - [b - [c - d + e]] = 

a — [b — c-\-d — c] = a — b-^c — d-\-c. 

WTiere the sign of multiplication ( X ) appears, the operation indicated 
by it must be performed before that of addition or subtraction. 

Division 

If the sign of the divisor and dividend be like, the sign of the quotient 
is plus (+); but if they be unlike the sign of the quotient is minus ( — ). 

To Divide a Monomial by a Monomial 

Write the di\idcnd o\er the divisor with a line between them. If the 

expressions have common factors remove them. 

Thus: ,, , a-bx ax o' i , 

a^bx -J- aby = -7— = — ; -b = -; = <i~ 
aby y a" or 

To Divide a Polynomial by a Monomial 

Divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial. 
Thus: (8a6 — i2ac) -r- 40 = 26 — 3c.

Arrange the terms of both dividend and divisor according to the as- 
cending or descending powers of some letter, and keep this arrangement 
throughout the operation. Divide the first term of the dividend by 
the first term of the divisor, and write the result as the first term of the 
quotient. 

Multiply all the terms of the divisor by the first term of the quotient 
and subtract the product from the dividend. If there is a remainder 
consider it as a new dividend and proceed as before. 

Thus: (o2 - b^) -^(a + b) 

a + b)a^-bH a-b 

a- -\- ab 



-ab-b^ 
— ab — b^ 

(i) The difference between two equal powers of the same quantities 
is divisible by their difference. 

(2) The difference between two equal even powers of the same quan- 
tities is divisible by their sum or difference. 

(3) The sum of two equal even powers of the same quantities is not 
divisible by their sum or difference. 

(4) The sum of two equal odd powers of the same quantities is 
divisible by their sum. 

(5) The sum of two equal eveti powers, whose exponents are composed 
of odd and even factors, is divisible by the sum of the powers of the 
quantities expressed by the even factor. 

Thus: (.1"® + y^) is divisible by (x^ + y^). 

Simple Equations 

An equation Is a statement of equality between two expressions; as 
a + b = c + d. 

A simple equation, or equation of the first degree, is one which contains 
only the first power of the unknown quantity. 

If both sides of the equation be changed equally, by addition, sub- 
traction, multiplication or division, the equality will not be disturbed. 

Any term of an equation may be changed from one side to the other 
provided its sign be changed. 

Thus: a + b = c + d, a = c + d — b.

To Solve an Equation Having One Unknown Quantity 

TransiK>sc all the terms cuntaining the unknown quantity to unc side 
'if the equation, and all llic other terms to the other side. 

Combine like terms, and divide both sides by the coefficient of the 
unknown quantity. 

Thus: 8 X- — 29 = 26 — 3 X, 1 1 jr = 55, x = $. 

Simple algebraic problems containing one unknown quantity, are 
solved by makinj^ x equal the unknown quantity, and stating the con- 
ditions of the problem in the form uf an algebraic equation, then solving 
the equation. 

Thus: What two numbers are those whose sum is 48 and difference 14? 

Let X = the smaller number. 

Then x -{- 14 = the greater number. 

a; + X + 14 = 48, 

2 X = 34. 

Therefore x = 17, 

and X -f 14 = 31, 

31 + 17 = 48. 

Find the number whose treble exceeds 50 by as much as its double 
falls short of 40. 

Let X = the number. 

Then 3 x — 50 = 40 — 2 x, 

5 X = 90, X = 18. 

Equations Containing Two Unknown Quantities 

If one equation contains two unknown quantities, an indefinite number 
of pairs of values for them may be found, which will satisfy the equation; 
but if a second equation be given, only one pair of values can be found 
that will satisfy both equations. Simultaneous equations, or those 
which may be satisfied by the same values of the unknown quantity, 
are solved by combining the equations so as to obtain a single equation 
containing only one unknown quantity. 

This process is called elimination. 

Elimination by Addition or Subtraction 

Multiply the equations by such a number as will make the coefficients 
of one of the unknown quantities equal in both. Add or subtract 
according as they have like or unlike signs. 



Elimination by Comparison 13 



Solve 2 a; + 3 3* = 7 

4X- sy = 3 

Multiply by 2 4^ + 6 y = 14 

Subtract 4-*-— 5y= 3 



II y = II 

y = I. 

Substituting the value of y in the first equation 
2 a; + 3 = 7, .: X = 2. 

Elimination by Substitution 

From one of the equations obtain the value of one of the unknown 
quantities in terms of the other. Substitute this value of this unknown 
quantity for it, in the other equation, and reduce the resulting equations. 

Solve 2 re + 3 y = 8 (i)

Elimination by Comparison 

From each equation obtain the value of one of the unknown quantities, 
in terms of the other. Form an equation from these equal values of the 
same unknown quantity and reduce.

If three simultaneous equations are ^iven containinK three unknown 
f|uantilics, one of the unicnown quantities must he eliminated between 
two pairs of the ecjuations, then a second between the two resulting 
efjualions. 

Quadratic Equations or Equations of the Second Degree 
A quadratic equation contains the square of the unknown quantity, 
but no higher power. A i)urc quadratic contains the square only; an 
adfected quadratic contains both the square and the first power. 

To Solve a Pure Quadratic 
Collect the unknown (|uantities on one side, and the known quantities 
on the i)lher; divide by the coefl'icient of the unknown quantity and 
extract the square root of each side of the resulting equation. 
Solve 3r' — 15 = 0. 

3A-= = i5. .-. X-' = 5, X = V5. 

A root which is indicated, but can only be found approximately is 
called a surd. 

Solve 3 a;^ + 15 = o. 

3 .v2 = - 15, .v= = - 5, :.x = \/- 5. 

The square root of a negative quantity cannot be found even approxi- 
mately, for the square of any number is positive; therefore, a root which 
is indicated, but cannot be found approximately is called imaginary. 

To Solve an Adfected Quadratic 

First. — Carry all the terms invuhini^ the unknown (juantities to one 
side of the equation and the known quantities to the other side. Arrange 
the unknown quantities in the order of their exjxjnents, changing the 
signs of the equation if necessary, so that the sign of the term containing 
the square of the unknown quantity shall be positive. 

Second. — Divide both terms by the coefficient of the square -of the 
unknown quantit}'. 

Third. — To complete the square. 

Add to both sides of the equation, the square of half the coefficient 
of the unknown quantity. The side containing the unknown quantity 
will now be a perfect square. 

Fourth. — Extract the square root of both sides of the equation and 
solve the resulting simple equation. 

Example. — x^ -\- 2 x = 35. 

.Add the square of half the coefficient of .v, which is i, to both sides; 
then A-* + 2 x + I = 35 + I = 36. 



Plane Geometry 15 

Extracting the square root 

X + I = ^36 = ± 6 

X = 6 - I = s 
a;=— 6 — i = — 7. 

• Example: 3 .t^ — 4 .r = 32. 

Divide by the coeiEcieat of x- 

x^-^ = ^. 
3 3 

Add the square of half the coefScient of x, which equals (,f)^ = |; 

then .i;^-f^ + f = ¥ + !• 

Extracting the square root, the equation becomes 

1- _ 2 _ -v/100 _ 10 
-'- 3 — ^ 9 3 

a-— 3-1-3 — 4, or:^-— s^T^a— 3~2 3. 

Since the square of a quantity has two roots ±, a quadratic equation 
has apparently two solutions. Both solutions may be correct; but in 
some cases one may be correct and the other inconsistent with the con- 
ditions of the problem. 

For the solution of quadratic equations containing two unknown 
quantities, or for that of equations of a higher order, a more extended 
treatment of the subject is required, than is permissible in a book of this 
character.

Problem 22 

To Construct an Ellipse ■when the Transverse attd Conjugate Axes 
are Given. (Fig. 20.) 

Draw the axes AB and CD intersecting at G. From C, with one- 
half ^jB as a radius, cut .45 at £ and F. Divide GB into any number 
of parts as at i, 2, 3, 4, 5. 

With £ as a center and 4 i as a 
radius, and with F as a center and 
radius B i, strike arcs cutting each 
other at i, i, above and below the 
transverse axis. 

Again with E and F as centers 
and A 2 and B 2, respectively as 
radii, describe arcs cutting each 
other at 2, 2. Find as many points as desired in the same way in both 
halves of the ellipse, then trace the curve. 

This construction depends on the property of an ellipse; that the sum 
of the distances from the foci to any point on the ellipse is equal to the 
transverse axis. 




Problem 23 

To Describe an Ellipse Mechanically when the Transverse and Con- 
jugate Axes are Known. (Fig. 21.) 

Draw the axes and determine the foci as in Problem 22. Drive two 
pins at the foci E and F. Fasten to each of the pins one end of a cord 

whose length is equal to that of the 
transverse axis. 

Then with a pencil, so placed 
within the loop of the cord as 
always to keep it taut and uniformly 
strained, trace one-half of the curve, 
from one extremity of the trans- 
verse axis to the other. The other 
half of the curve is traced by chang- 
ing the cord and pencil to the oppo- 
site side of the transverse axis. This 
method is seldom satisfactory on 
account of the unequal stretching 
of the cord. 

A better mechanical method of describing an ellipse is to place a 
straight edge along and above the transverse axis and another along and

al one side of the ronjunate axis, as at AB and CD (Fig. 21), leaving a 
slight o|)cning belwctn llic end of the straightedge CZ^and the transverse 
axis. 

There must also Lc a tliin strip of wood with a hole for pencil |>oint al 
A and small pins at B and C; AB being equal to one-half of the conju- 
gate axis; and AC equal to one-half the transverse axis. By moving 
this strip so that the pin B is always in contact with AB and the pin C 
in like contact with CD the upper half of the ellipse may be de- 
scribed. 

The straight edges are placed in corresponding positions on the 
opposite side of the transverse axis to describe the other half of the 
ellipse. 

Except where extreme accuracy is required, it is more convenient to 
approximate the ellipse with circular arcs. 
Thus: Lay off AB and CD (Fig. 22) 
equal to the transverse and conjugate axes 
respectively. Make Oa and Oc equal to 
the difference between the semi-transverse 
and semi-conjugate axes, and ad equal to 
one-half ac. Set off Oe equal to Od. Draw 
di parallel to ac; join e and / and draw the 
parallel lines dm and em. From m, with a 
radius mC, strike an arc cutting jnd and me. From i, with iD as a 
radius, strike an arc cutting id and ie. Then from d and e, with radius 
Ad, strike arcs closing the figure. 



The Parabola 

A parabola is a curve every point of which is equidistant from a line 
called the directrix and from a point on its axis called the focus. The 
directrix is a line perpendicular to the axis and at the same distance as 
the focus from the apex of the curve. 

.'\ line perpendicular to the axis, drawn through the focus to the cur\e, 
is called the parameter. 

If a line be drawn from any point of the curve, perpendicular to the 
axis, the distance from the apex to the intersection of the perpendicular 
with the axis is called the abscissa of that point and the distance from 
the intersection at the axis to the curve is called the ordinate of that 
point. 

Abscissae of a parabola are as the squares of corresponding ordi- 
nates. 




The Hyperbola 



23 



Problem 24 

To Construct a Parabola -when the Focus and Directrix 
are Given. (Fig. 23.) 
Let AB he the directrix, and C the 
focus of a parabola. Bisect CD at E, which 
point is the apex of the curve. 

Then with C as a center and any radii, 
as C I, C 2, etc., strike arcs at i, 2 and 3, 
etc. From D as a center and with the 
radii equal to C i, C 2, C 3, etc., cut the 
a.xis at i', 2', 3', etc. Through these points 
draw hnes parallel to AB. 

The intersection of corresponding parallels and arcs are points on the 
required curve. 

Problem 25 

To Construct a Parabola when an Abscissa and Its Corre- 
sponding Ordinate are Given. (Fig. 24.) 




Fig. 23. 






Fig. 24. 



Let BA be the given abscissa and AD 
the ordinate. 

Bisect AD at E. Draw EB, and EF 
perpendicular to EB. Set off BG and BK, 
each equal to AF. Then will G be the 
focus and LM (through K) perpendicular 
to ^B, the directrix. Construct the curve 
as in Problem 24. 



The Hyperbola 

An hyperbola is a cur\'e, such that the difference of the distances from 
any point of it to two fixed points is always equal to a given distance. 

The two fixed points are called the foci and the given distance is the 
transverse axis. The conjugate axis is a line perpendicular to the trans- 
verse axis at its middle point; and its length is equal to the side of a 
rectangle, of which the transverse axis is the other side and the distance 
between the foci, the diagonal. 



Problem 26 

To Construct an Hyperbola when the Foci and Transverse Axis are Given 

Let A and B be the foci and EF the transverse axis. From A set oflf 

AG equal to EF. Then, from .4 as a center and with any distance 

greater than AF as a radius, strike an arc CD, cutting the transverse 



24 



Plane CJcomelry 



axis (pri)IonKC<l) at //. From ^ as a center and flG as a radius, describe 
arcs cutting the arc CD at C and D. C and D will l>e jxjints on the curve; 
in like manner any number of (joints arc determined, Uirough which the 
curve may be traced. 

Proceeding in the same way on the opposite side 
of the conjugate axis, the other branch of the curve 
is constructed. 

The diagonals of a rectangle constructed on the 
transverse and conjugate axes are called the 
asymptotes and are hnes to which the cur\'e is 
tangent at an infinite distance. When the asymp- 
totes are at right angles the cur\e is called an equi- 
lateral hjTJerbola. 
It is a property of the equilateral hyperbola, that if the asymptotes 
be taken as the co-ordinate axes the product of the abscissa and ordinate 
of an}- point of the curve is equal to the corresponding product of the 
co-ordinates at any other point; or that the diagonal of a rectangle con- 
structed by the ordinate and abscissa of any point of the curve passes 
tlirough the intersection of the axes.

Problem 27

point. Multiply AB by AE and divide the product 

AB X AE 
by any other distance AF; then AG = ' ye ' 

and the intersection at / of lines through F and G, 
parallel to the axes, is another point on the cur\'e.

Properties of Plane Figures 

(i) In a right angle triangle, the square of the hypothenuse is equal 
to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. 

(2) In an equilateral triangle all the angles are equal. 

(3) In an isosceles triangle a line drawn from the vertex perpendicular 
to the base bisects the base and also the angle at the vertex. 

(4) An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two opposite 
angles. 

(s) Similar triangles have equal angles and the sides opposite to 
corresponding angles are proportional. 



Properties of Plane Figures 25 

(6) In any polygon, the sum of all the interior angles is equal to twice 
as many right angles as the figure has sides, less four right angles. 

(7) In any polygon the sum of all the exterior angles is equal to four 
right angles, or 360°. 

(S) The diagonals of any regular polygon intersect at the center 
of the figure. 

(9) A circle may be passed through any three points, not on the same 
straight line. 

(10) In the same circle, arcs are proportional to the angles at the 
center. 

(11) Any two arcs having the same angle at the center are propor- 
tional to their radii. 

(12) Areas of circles are proportional to the squares of their diameters 
or the squares of the radii. 

(13) A radius perpendicular to the chord of an arc bisects the arc 
and its chord. 

(14) A straight line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius 
at the point of tangency. 

(15) An angle at the center of the circle is equal to twice the angle

angle. 

(18) In any triangle inscribed in a segment of a circle, the angles at 
the circumference are equal. 

(19) Parallel chords or a chord and a parallel tangent intercept 
equal arcs. 

(20) If two chords of a circle intersect, the rectangles made by the 
segments of the respective chords are equal. 

(21) If one of the chords is a diameter of the circle and the other is 
perpendicular to it, then one-half of the chord is a mean proportional 
between the segments of the diameter. 

(22) In any circle, with the center as the origin of co-ordinates, the 
sum of the squares of the abscissa and ordinate of any point is equal to 
the square of the radius, or x^ + y^ = I^- 

(23) In any ellipse with same origin, the square of the abscissa of any 
point multiplied by the square of the semi-conjugate axis plus the square 
of the ordinate of same point multiplied by the square of the semi- 
transverse a.xis is .equal to the square of the product of the semi-axes. 

Thus: 5lv^ 4- A'^'f = A^B'^, where A and B are the semi- transverse 
and semi-conjugate axes.

To solve a triangle, three sides, two angles 
and one side or two sides and one angle must 
be given. 

The area of a parallelogram is equal to the

A polygon is a plane figure bounded by three or more straight lines; 
it is regular or irregular according as the lines bounding it are equal or 
unequal. 

If straight lines be drawn from the center of a regular polygon to each 
of the vertices of the interior angles, the polygon will be divided into as 
many isosceles triangles as it has sides. Each triangle will have for its 
base one of the sides of the polygon and for its altitude the perpendicular 
distance from the center of the polygon to that side. The area of the 
polygon is equal to the sum of the areas of all the triangles, and is 
found by multiplying one-half the sum of all the 
sides of the polygon by the perpendicular distance 
from the center to one of its sides. 

To find the area of an irregular polygon, divide 
the polygon into triangles and take the sum of 
their areas.

SOLIDS 
The Priam 

A prism is a solid whose bases or ends arc similar, equal and parallel 
polyj^ons and wiiose sides arc parallelograms. The prism is right or 
ohli(iuc according as the sides are jK-Tpemlicular to or inclined to the ends; 
regular or irregular, as the ends are regular or irregular polygons. 

The surface of any prism is the sum of the areas of the sides added to 
that of the ends. 

To find the surface of a right i)rism, multiply the i>erimeler of its base 
liy its altitude; to this i)roduct add the areas of the ends. 

The volume of any prism is ecjual to the area of its base multiplied 
by its altitude, or perpendicular distance between the ends. 

The volume of any fruslum of a prism is equal to the product of the 
sum of all the edges (divided by their number;, and the area of the cross 
section perpendicular to those edges. 

The Pyramid 

A pyTamid is a solid having any jjolNgun for its base; and for its sides 
triangles, terminating at one point called the apex 

The a.xis of a pyramid is a straight line from the ape.x to the center of 
gravity of its base. 

A pyramid is right or oblique according as the a.xis is perpendicular 
or inclined to the base; regular or irregular, as the base is a regular or 
irregular figure. 

The slant height is the distance from the vertex of any of the tri- 
angular sides to the middle point of its base. 

The surface of any pjTamid is equal to the sum of the areas of all the 
triangles of which it is composed plus the area of the base. 

The surface of a right regular pyramid is equal to the perimeter of its 
base multiplied by half the slant height plus the area of the base. 

The volume of any pyramid is equal to the area of the base multiplictl 
by one-third of the altitude; or the perpendicular distance from the apex 
to the base. It is also equal to one-third the volume of a cylinder having 
the same base and altitude; or to one-half the volume of a hemisphere 
having the same base and altitude. 

The volumes of a pyramid, hemisphere and cylinder, having the same 
base and altitude are to each other as i, 2 and 3. 

Frustrum of a Pjrramid 

The frustrum of a pyramid is the section between two i)lanes which 
may or may not be parallel. 



Polyhedra 31 

The slant height of any side of a frustrum of a pyramid is measured 
from the middle points of the top and bottom sides of the trapezium 
forming that side. 

To find the surface of any frustrum of apyramid, take the sum of the 
areas of all the trapeziums forming the sides, to which add the sum of 
the top and base. 

The surface of a frustrum of a right regular pyramid, where the top 
and base are parallel planes, is equal to one-half the sum of the perimeters 
of top and base multiplied by the slant height plus the sum of the areas 
of the top and base. 

The volume of any frustrum of any pyramid, with top and base 
parallel, is equal to one-third the perpendicular distance between top 
and base multiplied by the sums of the areas of top and base, and the 
square root of the product of those areas. 

Thus H, being the perpendicular and A and A' the areas of top and 
base, respectively, then the volume equals \ H X {A -\- A' -\- ^ A X A') 
or A" being equal to the area of a section midway between and parallel 
to base and top, the volume = V = I H {A +A' + 4A"). 

A prismoid is a solid having six sides, two of which are parallel but 
unequal' quadrangles, and the other sides trapeziums. 

To find the Volume of a Prismoid 

Let A = area of one of the parallel sides. 
a — area of the other parallel side. 
M = area of cross section midway between and parallel to 

the parallel sides. 
L = perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides. 
Then Volume^ £X ^4 + « + 4^/ j. 

The Wedge 

The wedge is a frustrum of a triangular prism. Its volume is equal 
to the area of a right section multiplied by one-third the sum of the 
lengths of the three parallel edges. 

Let A equal area of section perpendicular to the axis of the prism and 
BC, DE and FG, the lengths of the parallel edges respectively. 

Then Volume of wedge = A •

The Cylinder 

A cylinder may be delincd as u pri.-^m, oi which a section perpendicular 
to its axis is a circle. It may be right or oblique. 

The base of a right cylinder is a circle, that of an oblique cylinder an 
ellipse. 

The surface of any cylinder is ccjual to the product of the circumference 
of a circle whose plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, by 
the length of the axis, plus the area of the ends. 

The volume of a cylinder is equal to the area of a circle perpendicular 
to the axis multiplied by its altitude. 



The Cone 

A cone is a pyramid having an infinite number of sides. 

Cones are right or oblique according as their axes are perpendicular 
or inclined to their bases. 

The surface of a right cone is equal to the product of the perimeter 
of the base by half the slant height, plus the area of the base. 

The surface of an oblique cone, cut from a right cone having a circular 

base, is equal to the area of the base, multiplied by the altitude and 

divided by the perpendicular distance from the axis at the point where 

it pierces the base, to the surface of the cone, plus the area of the base; 

AH 
or the curv^ed surface of the cone equals -^ • Wherein A is the area 

K 

of the base, II the altitude and R the perpendicular. 

The volume of any cone is equal to the area of the base multiplied by 
one-third of the altitude. 

The volume of a cone is equal to one-third that of a cylinder, or one- 
half that of an hemisphere having same base and altitude. 



The Sphere 33 

The surface of a right circular frustrum of a cone with top and base 
parallel is found by adding together the circumferences of top and base, 
multiplying this sum by one-half the slant height; to this product add 
the area of top and base to get the total surface. 

The volume of a frustrum of any cone, with top and base parallel, is 
equal to one-third of the altitude multiplied by the sum of the areas of 
top and base plus the square root of the product of those areas, or equals 
I the altitude 



X (area of top -\- area of base + v area of top X area of base). 



The Sphere 

A sphere is a solid generated by revolving a semicircle about its 
diameter. 

The intersection of a sphere with any plane is a circle. 
A circle cut by the intersection of the surface of a sphere and a plane 
passing through its center is a great circle. 

The volume of a sphere is greater than that of any other solid having 
an equal-surface. 

The surface of a sphere equals that of four great circles. 
Surface = ^wr"^.

Guldin's Theorems 

(i) If any plane curve be revolved about any external a.xis situated 
in its plane, the surface generated is equal to the product of the perimeter 
of the curs'c and the length of the path described by the center of gravity 
of that perimeter. 

(2) If any plane surface be revolved about any e.\ternal axis situated 
in its plane, the volume generated is equal to the area of the revolving 
surface multiplied by the path described by its center of gravity. 



CHAPTER II 

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 

In the United States and Great Britain measures of length and weight 
are, for the same denomination, essentially equal; but liquid and dry 
measures for same denomination differ widely. The standard measure 
of length for both countries is that of the simple seconds pendulum, 
at the sea level, in the latitude of Greenwich; in vacuum and at a tem- 
perature of 62° F. 

The length of such a pendulum is 39.1393 inches; 36 of these inches 
constitute the standard British Imperial yard. This is also the stand- 
ard in the United States. 

The Troy pound at the U. S. Mint of Philadelphia is the legal standard 
of weight in the United States. 

It contains 5760 grains and is exactly the same as the Imperial Troy 
pound of Great Britain. 

The avoirdupois pound (commercial) of the United States contains 
7000 grains, and agrees with the British avoirdupois pound within o.ooi 
of a grain. 

The metric system was legalized by the United States in 1866 but its 
use is not obligatory. 

The metre is the unit of the metric system of lengths and was supposed 

to be one ten millionth, , of that portion of a meridian between 

10,000,000 

either pole and the equator. 

The metric measures of surface and volume are the squares and cubes 
of the metre, and of its decimal fractions and multiples. 

The metric unit of weight is the gramme or grain, which is the weight 
of a cubic centimeter of pure water at a temperature of 40° F. 

The legal equivalent of the metre as established by Act of Congress 
is 39.37 inches = 3.28083 ft. = 1.093611 yards. 

The legal equivalent of the gramme is 15.432 grains. 

The systems of weights used for commercial purposes in the United 
States are as follows:

Measures of Work, Power and Duty 

Work is the result of expenditure of energy in overcoming resistance. 
Tiie unit of work is tiie pressure of one pound exerted through a distance 
of one foot and is called one foot pound. 

Horse Power. — Term employed to measure the quantity of work. 
The unit is one horse power; or the quantity of work performed in 
raising 33,000 lbs., one foot in one minute 

= 33,000 foot pounds per minute 
= 550 foot pounds per second 
= 1,980,000 foot pounds per hour. 
A heat unit is the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water 
at maximum density i° F., or i pound of water from 39° F. to 40° F. =

To find the square or cube of any whole number ending 
with ciphers. First, omit all the final ciphers. Take from the table the 
sfiiKirc (ir tul)c (as the case may be) of the rest of the number. To this 
square add twice as many ciphers as there were final ciphers in the original 
number. To the cube add three times as many as in the original number. 
Thus, for 90,500^, 905* = 819,025. Add twice 2 ciphers, obtaining 
8,i9o,2So,cxx). For 90,500', 905* = 741,217,625. Add 3 times 2 ci- 
phers, obtaining 741,217,625,000,000.

To find Square or Cube Roots of large numbers not con- 
tained in the column of numbers of the table 

Sinli routs may sDniclimcs Ijc taken at. ontc from llic taljlc, by mtrtly 
rcf^ardin^ ihc columns of |K)\vers as bfing columns of numbers; and tliosc 
of numljcrs as bein^ those of roots. Thus, if ihe si/iiiirc root of 25281 
is required, first find thai number in the column of squares; and opix>silc 
to it, in the column of numbers, is its square root 159. For the cube root 
of 857375, find that number in the column of cubes; and opposite to it, 
ill the column of numbers, is its cube root 95. When the exact number 
is not contained in the column of squares, or cubes, as the case may be, 
\vc may use instead the number nearest to it, if no great accuracy is 
required. But when a considerable degree of accuracy is necessary, the 
following very correct methods ma>' be used. 

For the square root 

This rule applies both to whole numbers and to those which are parlly 
(not wholly) decimal. First, in the foregoing manner, take out the 
tabular nunil)cr, wliich is nearest to the gi\-en one; and also its tabular 
square root. Multiply this tabular numl)cr b}' 3; to the product add 
the given number. Call the sum A. Then multiply the given number 
l)y 3; to the product add the tabular number. Call the sum />. Then 
A : B :: Tabular root : Required root. 

Example. — Let the given number be 946.53. Here we find the nearest 
tabular number to be 947; and its tabular square root 30.7734. Hence, 



947 = tabular numl)cr 
3 

2841 
946.53 = given number 



3787-53 = -•!• 



and 



94*'^-53 = given number 
3 



2839-59 
947 = tabular number 



I 3786.59 = B. 



A B Tab. root Req'd root 

Then 3787-53 : 3786.59 :: 30-7734 : 30-7657+- 

The root as found by actual matliematical process is also 30.76574-. 

For the cube root 

This rule api)lics lioth to wiiole nunil)crs and to those whicli are parlly 
decimal. First take out the tabular number which is nearest to the given 
one; and also its tabular cul)e root. ^lultiply this tabular number by 
2; and to the product add the given number. Call the siun A. Then 



Cube Root 



63 



multiply the given number by 2; and to the product add the tabular 
number. Call the sum B. Then 

A : B :: Tabular root : Required root. 

Example. — Let the given number be 7368. Here we find the nearest 
tabular number (in the column of cubes) to be 6859; and its tabular cube 
root 19. Hence, 

6859 = tabular number 



13718 
7368 = given number 



21086 = A. 



and 



7368 = given number 



14736 
6859 = tabular number 



I 21595 = B. 
B Tab. root Req'd root 

Then 21086 : 21595 " ^9 : I94585. 

The root as found by correct mathematical process is 19.4588.

To compute the area or circumference of a circle of a diameter greater than 
100 and less than looi; 

Take out the area or circumference from table as though the number 
had one decimal, and move the decimal point two places to the right for 
the area, and one place for the circumference. 

Example. — Wanted the area and circumference of 567. The tabular 
area for 56.7 is 2524.9687, and circumference 178.1283. Therefore area 
for 567 = 252496.87 and circumference = 1781.283. 

To compute the area or circumference of a circle of a diameter greater than 
1000, 

Di\ide by a factor, as 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., if practicable, that will leave a 
quotient to be found in table, then multiply the tabular area of the 
quotient by the square of the factor, or the tabular circumference by the 
factor. 

£a;am/>/e. — Wanted the area and circumference of 2109. Dividing 
by 3, the quotient is 703, for which the area is 388150.84 and the circum- 
ference 2208.54. Therefore area of 2109 = 388150.84 X 9 = 3493357-56 
and circumference = 2208.54 X 3 = 6625.62.

Lengths of Circular Arcs to Radius 1 
To find the length of a circular arc by the following table 

Knowing the radius of the circle and the measure of the arc in deg., 
min., etc. 

Rule. — Add together the lengths in the table found respectively 
opposite to the deg., min., etc., of the arc. Multiply the sum by the 
radius of the circle. 

Example. — In a circle of 1 2.43 feet radius, is an arc of 13 deg., 27 min., 
8 sec. How long is the arc? 

Here, opposite 13 deg. in the table, we find .2268928 

" 27 min. " " " " .0078540 
" 8 sec. " " " " .0000388 



Sum = . 2347856 

And .2347856 X 12.43, or radius = 2.918385 feet, the required length 
of arc.

Miilljcnialical Tables 



Contents of Linings of Wells 

For (lianiclcrs Iwicc a.s j^rcal as ihubc in ihc UiIjIc, for the cuhic yards 
of digging, lake out those opjxjsitc one half ol the greater diameter; and 
multiply them by 4. Thus, for the cubic yards in each foot of depth of 
a well 31 feet in diameter, first take out from the table those opposite the 
diameter of 155.4 feet; namely, 6.989. Then 6.989 X 4 = 27.956 cubic 
yards required for the 31 feet diameter. But for the stone lining or 
walling, bricks or plastering, multiply the tabular quantity opp<Jsitc 
//(;// the greater diameter by 2. Thus, the perches of stone walling for 
each foot of depth of a well of 31 feet diameter will be 2.073 X 2 = 
4.146. If the wall is more or less than one foot thick, within usual 
moderate limits, it will generally be near enough for i)ractice to assume 
that the number of perches, or of bricks, will increase or decrease in the 
same pro[)ortion. 

The size of the bricks is taken at 8!4 X 4 X 2 inches; and to be laid 
dry, or without mortar. In practice an addition of about 5 per cent 
should be made for waste. The brick lining is supposed to be 1 brick 
thick, or S'l ins. 

Caution. — Be careful to observe that the diameters to be used for 
the digging are greater than those for the walling, bricks, or plastering.

A cubic yard = 202 U. S. gallons. 



Io6 M;illicm;ilit:il T;il»Ics 

If pcrihes arc named in a contract, it is necessary, in order to prevent 
fruiul, to specify the number of cubic feet contained in the perch; for 
slonc-quarricrs have one jierch, stone-masons another, etc. Engineers, 
on this account, contract by the cubic yard. The [K-rch should be done 
away with entirely; perches of 25 cubic feet X 0.926 = cubic yards; and 
cubic yards -r- 0.926 = perches of 25 cubic feet. 



CHAPTER III 




NATURAL SINES, TANGENTS, ETC. 

Sine 

The sine of any angle acb or the sine of any circular arc ab is the 
perpendicular distance, as, from one end of the arc a to the radius 
passing through the other end b of the arc. It 
is equal to one-half the chord of the arc abn, 
which is twice the arc ab; or the chord of the 
arc abn is equal to twice the sine of half the arc, 
or twice the sine of ab. 

The sine of the angle tcb, if icb equals 90°, is 
equal to the radius of the circle. 

Cosine 

The cosine of an arc ab is the distance cs from 
the center of the circle c to the intersection of the 
sine as with the radius cb, and is equal to ya or the sine of the arc ta. 
But the angle tea is equal to the difference between 90° and the angle 
acb; or the difference between the arcs tab and ab; and is the comple- 
ment of acb. Hence the cosine of an angle or arc is equal to the sine of 
its complement, and vice versa. 

Versed Sine 

The versed sine of an arc is the distance sb from the foot s of the sine 
to the arc at b, measured on the radius cb. 

Natiiral Sines, Tangents, etc. 

The versed sine of an arc ab is equal to the rise of twice the arc; or 
equal to the rise of abn. 

Tangent 

The tangent bw of an arc ab is the perpendicular distance from the 
radius at one extremity of the arc b to the intersection w of the perpen- 
dicular bw with the prolongation of a radius drawn through the other 
extremity of the arc at a. '

M:itll<in:iti( ;il lal/lcs 



The Secant 

The secant of an arc is the distance cw from the center of the arc to 
the intersection of the tangent at U' of the prolonged radius ca. 

If the angle Icb equals 90 degrees and lea be the complement of atb, 
the sine ya of this complement, its versed sine ly, tangent lo and secant 
CO become respectively the cosine, coversed sine, cotangent and co- 
secant of the angle acb, and vice versa. 

When the radius ab is ecjual to unity the corresiwnding sines, cosines, 
tangents, etc., arc called natural sines, cosines, etc.; and the table con- 
taining their lengths for different angles is the table of natural sines, etc. 

The lengths of the sines, etc., for the arcs of any other circle, whose 
radius may be greater or less than i, arc found by multiplying the tabu- 
lar values by such radius. 

The following table contains ordy natural sines, tangents and secants; 
the other lengths may be found for any angle not exceeding 90 degrees 
as follows:

Approximate Measurement of Angles 



115 



Approximate Measurement of Angles 
(i) The four fingers of the hand, held at right angles to the arm 
and at arm's length from the eye, cover about 7 degrees; and an angle 
of 7 degrees corresponds to about 12.2 feet in 100 feet; or to 36.6 feet in 
100 yards; or to 645 feet in a mile. 

(2) By means of a two-foot rule, either on a drawing or between 
distant objects in the field. If the inner edges of a common two-foot 
rule be opened to the extent shown in the column of inches, they will be 
inclined to each other at the angles shown in the column of angles. 
Since an opening of J'i inch (up to 19 inches or about 105 degrees) corre- 
sponds to from about 5^^ degree to i degree, no great accuracy is to be 
expected, and beyond 105 degrees still less, for the liability to error then 
increases very rapidly as the opening becomes greater. Thus, the last 
^ inch corresponds to about 12 degrees. 

Angles for openings intermediate of those given may be calculated to 
the nearest minute or two, by simple proportion, up to 23 in-^hes of 
opening, or about 147 degrees.

Rule — {CotUini.' 




(3) With the same table, using feet instead of inches. — 

From any i)oinl measure 12 Jcct toward* each object and place marks. 
Measure the distance in feci between these marks. Suppose the first 
column in the table to be feci instead of inches. Then opposite the 
distance in feel will be the angle. 

V& foot = 1.5 inches. 



1 in. = .083 ft. 

2 ins. = .167 ft. 

3 ins. = .25 ft. 



4 ins. = .^2,3 ft- 

5 ins. = .416 ft. 

6 ins. = .5 ft. 



7 ins. = .583 ft. 

8 ins. = .667 ft. 

9 ins. = .75 ft. 



10 ins. = .833 ft. 

11 ins. = .917 ft. 

12 ins. = 1.0 ft. 



(4) Or, measure toward* each object 100 or any other number 
of feet and |)lace marks. Measure tlie distance in feet between the 
marks. Then 



half the distance between the marks 



Sine of half _ 

the angle the distance measured toward one of the objects 

Find this sine in the table, etc.; take out the corresponding angle and 
multiply it by 2. 

• If it is inconvenient to measure toward the objects, measure directly from them.

The weights for 12-inch width are repeated on each page to facilitate making the 
additions necessary to obtain the weights of plates wider than 12 inches. Thus, to 
find the weight of is!4"X ;s", add the weights to be found in the same line for 3M Xji 
and i2Xji=9.48 + 35-00 = 44.48 pounds.

The weights for 12-inch width are repeated on each page to facilitate making the 
additions necessary to obtain the weights of plates wider than 12 inches. Thus to 
find the weight of is!'^" X^6", add the weights to be found in the same line for 3'/^ X^ 
and i2Xj6=io.4i -|- 35.70 = 46.11 pounds.

In ordering, always specify size of bolt. 




Fig. 42. 
Showing Lock Washer on Bolt. 

When the nut is screwed upon the bolt, it first strikes the rib on the 
lock washer, which, being harder than the nut, progressively upsets 
and forces some of the metal of the nut into the thread of the bolt, 
thereby preventing the nut from backing off or loosening. 

Can be used on any make of bolt or nut. The same bolt, nut and lock 
washer can be used as often as required. 

Prices upon receipt of specifications. 



IS4 



MutcriaLi 



r 





l-IG. 43. 



The positive lock washer is so constructed that the "body" of the 
washer carries the load of compression and the tapered ends are thus 
rehevcd and the spring is constant. The barbs, being free to move when 
subjected to vibration, force themselves deeply into the nut and metal 
backing. 

Are reversible and can be used many times. Do not injure the nut, 
its thread, or the threads of the bolt.

They also have in stock, in lengths of 12 feet, the following sizes of 
seamless brass and copper tubing, made of same outside diameter as 
standard sizes of iron piping, so as to be used with the same fittings as 
the iron pipe. 

A = nominal inside diameter of iron pipe, in inches. For actual 
inside diameters. 

B = outside diameter of iron pipe and of seamless tube, in inches. 

C = inside diameter of seamless tube, in inches. 

D = weight per foot of bra^s pipe. cols. B and C. For copper, add 
one-nineteenth.

TIN AND ZINC 



The pure metal is called block tin, — When perfectly pure (which 
it rarely is, being purposely adulterated, frequently to a large proportion, 
with the cheaper metals lead or zinc), its specific gravity is 7.29; and its 
weight per cubic foot is 455 pounds. It is sufficiently malleable to be 
beaten into tin foil, only Hooo of in inch thick. Its tensile strength is 
but about 4600 pounds per square inch; or about 7000 pounds when made 
into wire. It melts at the moderate temperature of 442° F. Pure block 
tin is not used for common building purposes; but thin plates of sheet 
iron covered with it on both sides constitute the tinned plates, or, as they 
are called, the tin, used for covering roofs, rain pipes and many domestic 
utensils. For roofs it is laid on boards. 

The sheets of tin are united as shown in this Fig. First, several 
sheets are joined together in the shop, end for end, as at tt, by being first 
bent over, then hammered 
flat, and then soldered. ^t 

These are then formed into 
a roll to be carried to the 
roof, a roll being long 
enough to reach from the 
peak to the eaves. Dif- 




FiG. 51. 



ferent rolls being spread up and down the roof are then united along 
their sides by simply being bent as at a and s, by a tool for that purpose. 
The roofers call the bending at .y a double groove, or double lock; and the 
more simple ones at t, a single groove, or lock. 

To hold the tin securelj^ to the sheeting boards, pieces of the tin 3 or 4 
inches long, by 2 inches wide, called cleats, are nailed to the boards at 
about every 18 inches along the joints of the rolls that are to be united, 
and are bent over with the double groove 5. This will be understood 
from y, where the middle piece is the cleat, before being bent over. The 
nails should be 4-penny slating nails, which have broader heads than 
common ones. As they are not exposed to the weather, they may be of 
plain iron. 



lyo MaU-riaLs 

Miidi use is made of what is called leaded tin, or terncs, for roofing. 
It i.i simply sheet iron coated with lead, instead of the more costly metal 
I in. It is not Jis durable as the tinned sheets, but is somewhat cheaper. 

The best plates, Iwth for tinning and for terncs, are made of charcoal 
iron, which, being tough, bears bending better. Coke is used for 
I hcaper plates, but inferior as regards bending. In giving orders, it is 
inii>ortant to specify whether charcoal plates or coke ones are required; 
also whether liniicd plates, or tcriics. 

Tinned and leaded sheets of IJesscmcr and other cheap steel are now 
much used. They are sold at ai>out the price of charcoal tin and teme 
plates. 

There are also in use for roofing, certain compound metals which resist 
tarnish better than either lead, tin, or zinc but which are so fusible as to 
be liable to be melted by large burning cinders falling on the roof from a 
neighboring conflagration. 

A roof covered with tin or other metal should, if possible, slope not 
much less than five degrees, or about an inch to a foot; and at the eaves 
there should be a sudden fall into the rain-gutter, to prevent rain from 
backing up so as to overtop the double-groove joint s, and thus cause 
leaks. When coal is used for fuel, tin roofs should receive two coats of 
paint when first put up, and a coat at every 2 or 3 years after. Where 
wood only is used, this is not necessary; and a tin roof, with a good pitch, 
will last 20 or 30 years. 

Two good workmen can put on, and paint outside, from 250 to 300 
square feet of tin roof, per day of 8 hours. 

Tinned iron plates are sold by the box. These boxes, unlike glass, have 
not equal areas of contents. They may be designated or ordered either 
by their names or sizes. Many makers, however, have their private 
brands in addition; and some of these have a much higher reputation 
than others.

Modulus of Elasticity i8i 

Modulus of Elasticity 

The modulus of elasticity of any body is the ratio, within the elastic 
limit, of the stress per unit of area to the stretch per unit of length. 

. Let S = stress per square inch, and 

L = elongation per unit of length. 
S' = total stress. 
L' = total elongation. 
O = original length. 

A = area of cross section in square inches. 
E = modulus of elasticity. 

Then E = j, which is found to be practically constant, and is a 

measure of the resistance which a body can oppose to change of shape. 

S' 

-J = 5 = stress per square inch, (i) 

jr = L = elongation per unit of length 
A S S'O ^ , , 

Hence the modulus of elasticity is equal to the total stress, multipHed 
by the original length, divided by the area in square inches, multiplied 
by the total elongation. 

From equation (2), 



and since 



5' = ^, (3) 



^ = S and ^ = L, then 5 = EL; (4) 

A 



or the stress per vmit of area is equal to the modulus multiplied by the 
elongation per unit of length. * 

From (3), 

^ EA E ^^^ 

5 
and ^ ^ E' ^^^ 

or the elongation per unit of length equals the stress per unit of area 
divided by the modidus.

The formulae are based on the assumplion that the increase of deflec- 
tion is proportional to the increase of load. 
The values of the letters in the table are as follows: 

d = deflection of beam in inches. 
W = weight of extraneous load in pounds. 
w = weight of clear span of beam in pounds. 
I = clear span of beam in inches. 
E = modulus of elasticity in pounds per square inch. 
/ = moment of inertia of cross section of beam in inches.

Modulus of Rupture 



185 



From the table, it is found that for beams of similar cross section and 
of same material, and within the elastic limit, the load and deflections 
(neglecting the weight of the beam itself) are as follows: 

Deflections Under Given Extraneous Loads 



With same span . 



With same span and breadth . . . 

With same span and depth 

With same breadth and depth. . 



Inversely as the breadths and as the cubes of 

the depths

the depths

Inversely as the cubes of the spans 



Modulus of Rupture 

The modulus of rupture is the total resistance, in pounds per square 
inch, of the fibres of a beam farthest from the neutral axis; and is 18 
times the center breaking load in pounds, of a beam of the given material, 
I inch square by i foot span. The values of the modulus of rupture, 
which is usually denoted by "C," may be obtained from the following 
table of transverse strengths, by multiplying the values therein by 18. 

One-third part of any of these constants (except those for 
wrought iron and steel) may be taken in ordinary practice as about the 
average constant for the greatest center load within the elastic limit. The 
loads here given for wrought iron and steel are already the greatest 
within elastic limits.

Moment of Inertia 187 

Moment of Inertia 

The moment of inertia of the weight of a body, with respect to any 
axis, is the algebraic sum of the products obtained by multiplying the 
weight of each elementary particle by the square of its distance from 
the axis. 

If the moment of inertia with respect to any axis be denoted by /; the 
weight of any elementary particle by w; and its distance from the axis 
by r; the sum of all the particles by S, then / = X{wr^). 

The moment of inertia of a rod or bar of uniform thickness, with 
respect to an axis perpendicular to the length of the rod, is 



W 



(?-) 



in which W equals the weight of rod, 2 / equals length and d equals the 
distance of the center of gravity of the section from the axis. 

For thin circular plates with the axis in its own plane, when r equals 
the radius of the plate, 

For circular plate, axis perpendicular to the plate, 
/ = wl-+d^ 



Circular ring, axis perpendicular to its own plane, 

'r^ + r" 



= w{^- 



+ d^ 



r and r' being the exterior and interior radii of the ring. 
Cylinder, axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, 

r = radius of base and 2 / = length of the cylinder. 

By making d equal to o in any of the above formulae, the moment of 
inertia for a parallel axis passing through the center of gravity is found. 

The term moment of inertia is also used in respect to areas, as the 
cross section of beams under strain. 

In this case, / = 2(ar)^, in which a is the elementary area and r its 
distance from the center.

Formula; for Transverse Strength of Beams 189 

Formulae for Transverse Strength of Beams 

P = load at middle. 

W = total load distributed uniformly. 

I = length, b = breadth, d = depth in inches. 
E = modulus of elasticity. 
R = stress per square inch of extreme fibre. 

/ = moment of inertia. 

C = distance between neutral axis and extreme fibre. 

For breaking load of circular section replace bd- by 0.59 d^. 

For good wrought iron the value of R is about 80,000; for steel about 
120,000. For cast iron the value of R varies greatly. Thurston found 
45,740 for No. 2 and 67,980 for No. i.

CHAPTER V 

ACCELERATION OF FALLING BODIES 

The change in velocity of a falling body which occurs in a unit of time 
is its acceleration. 

That due to gravity is 32.16 feet per second, in one second and is 
denoted by g. 

Let t = number of seconds during which a body falls. 

V = velocity acquired in feet per second at the expiration of 

/ seconds. 
u = space fallen through in each second. 
h = total space fallen through in t seconds.

Mechanics 






The Rraphicil method of ascertaining the values of /, r, 14 an<I A is 
easily rememhcrtd and is often of service. 

In the lrianj;Ie, Fig. 61, let the vertical divisions on 
the left of the per|)en(li(:ular repreM;nt the numl>er of 
seconds through which the body falls = /. 

Lei the base of each small triangle equal the velocity 
at the end of the first second = 32.16. Then the 
number of bases on each of the horizontal lines at 
I, 2, 3, etc., multiplied by 32.16 will equal the ac- 
quired velocity for the corresponding time = v. 

Let the area of each small triangle = 16.08. Then 
the number of such areas between o and any hori- 
zontal line multiplied by 16.08 will equal the height in feet fallen through 
in the number of seconds corresponding to that line = //. 

And the number of small triangles between each pair of horizontal 
lines, multiplied by 16.08 will equal the number of feet fallen through io 
each second = 11. 

t = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 
V = 32.16 X I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 
h = 16.08 X I, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36. 
« = 16.08 X I, 3, 5, 7, 9, II.

Parallelogram of Forces 

If two forces are applied to the same point, their resultant will be 
represented in intensity and direction by the diagonal of a [jarallelo- 
gram of which the adjacent sides represent the 
intensities and directions of the given forces. 

Let AB and AC represent, in intensity and 
direction, any two forces applied to the point 
A; then AD will correspondingly represent 
their resultant. 

Conversely, if AD be the known force acting at i4, it may be resolved 
into two components, in any direction in the same plane; which com- 
ponents will be the adjacent sides of a parallelogram having AD for its 
diagonal. 

Parallelopipedon of Forces 

If three forces, not in the same jjlane, act on the same p>oint, they may 
be represented by the edges of a parallelopipedon and the diagonal 
through the point of application is their resultant.

The Lever 



f^ 



The lever is a solid bar of any form, siipixjrled at a fixwi point, alx)Ut 
which it may turn freely. 

I ^ -] The fixed point is the fulcrum. There arc 

|f| r pi three orders of levers. In those of the first 

order the j)oints of applicaticm of the |X)\ver 

and resistance are on opposite sides of the 

fulcrum. 

In the second order the resistance is ap- 
plied between the fulcrum and the power. 

In the third order the power is applied 
l)ctwcen the fulcrum and the resistance. 

« In any order ^'''- ^4- 

j- ^ "^ _—_ , ^^^ weight IF multiplied by the distance 

'^ >L WF from the fulcrum must equal the 

^Ll power P multiplied by PF, to establish 
Fig. 65. .1., • 

■^ equilibrium. 

Whatever may be the shape of the lever, the power or resistance acts 
at the end of a line drawn through the fulcrum and perpendicular to the 
line of direction of the power or resistance. This perpendicular is called 
the lever arm of its corresponding force, and the product of the lever arm 
and its force is called the moment of that force. When the moments are 
equal the forces are in equilibrium. 

If one moment exceeds the other, rotation will occur about the ful- 
crum in the direction of the force having the greater moment. 

The Wheel and Axle 

This is simply such an application of the lever of the first order, that 
the power and resistance may act through greater distances; the radius 
of the wheel is the lever arm of the power and that of the drum the lever 
arm of the resistance. 

When the resistance is a weight, it will be raised if the moment of the 
power is the greater and vice versa. 

The Inclined Plane 

If a force P acts in the direction of 
AB, to overcome the resistance R, then 
P :R::a -.b.

Center of Gravity 

The center of gravity of a body is that point through which the effort 
of its weight always passes. If a body be suspended from any point, 
the direction of the line of suspension will pass tlirough its center of 
gravity. 

Therefore, the center of gravity of any body may be determined by 
finding the intersection of the hnes of suspension passing through points 
not on the same vertical hne. 

The center of gravity of two bodies is on a line joining their respective 
centers of gravity and the distances from the center of gravity of either 
body to that of both of them (combined) are inversely proportional to 
the weights of the bodies respectively. 

To find the center of gravity of any irregular plane surface, divide it 
into triangles of any convenient areas. Find the center of gravity and 
the area of each triangle. Then assuming any coordinate axes X and 
Y, multiply the area of each triangle by the abscissa of its center of gravity 
and divide the product by the sum of the areas of all the triangles. The 
quotient is the abscissa of the center of gravity of the entire figure. Find 
its ordinate in the same way; then the point determined by this abscissa 
and ordinate is the center of gravity of the figure. 

This method is precisely that shown by Fig. 61, Machinery Supplement 
No. 5. 

In addition to the formulae taken from Machinery Supplement No. 5, 
others are given as follows: 



Semiellipse 

The center of gravity of a semiellipse is on the semiaxis perpendicular 
to the base and at a distance from the base equal to the product of that 
semiaxis and the decimal 0.4244.

Cubical expansion or expansion of volume equals lineal expansion multiplied by 3. 
The coefficient of expansion from 32° to 212° F. divided by 100 gives the lineal 
expansion for corresponding solid for 1° C. 
The expansion of metals above 212° F. is irregular and more rapid.

Measurement of Heat 



207 



MEASUREMENT OF HEAT 
Unit of Heat 

The British thermal unit (B.t.u.) is the quantity of heat required to 
raise the temperature of one pound of pure water one degree Fahrenheit 
at 39.1° F. 

The French thermal unit, or calorie, is the quantity of heat recjuired to 
raise the temperature of one kilogram of pure water one degree Centi- 
grade at 4° C, which is equivalent to 39.1° F. The French calorie is 
equal to 3.96S British thermal units; one B.t.u. is equal to .252 calories. 



Mechanical Equivalent of Heat 

This is the number of foot pounds equivalent to one B.t.u. Joule's 
experiments gave the figure 772, which is known as Joule's equivalent. 
Recent experiments give higher figures and the average is now taken 
to be 778.

If one pound of carbon is burned to CO2, generating 14,544 B.t.u., and the CO2 
thus formed is immediately reduced to CO in the presence of glowing carbon, by the 
reaction CO2 + C = 2 CO, the result is the same as if the two pounds of C had been 
burned directly to 2 CO, generating 2 X 445i = 8902 heat units; consequently 
14,544 — 8902 = 5642 heat units have disappeared or become latent and the reduction 
of CO2 to CO is thus a cooling operation.

Coefficient of Friction 

If two bodies have plane surfaces in contact and the plane of contact 
be inclined so that one body just begins to slide upon the other, the angle 
made by this plane with a horizontal plane is called the angle of repose. 

The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the ultimate friction to the 
pressure perpendicular to the plane of contact, and is equal to the 
tangent of the angle of repose. 

Thus, if R denotes the friction between the surfaces, Q the perpendicu- 
lar pressure and F the coefficient of friction. Then 

F = ^ and i? = FQ. 

Centrifugal Force 

In a revolving body the force expended to deflect it from a rectilinear 
to a curved path is called centrifugal force and is equal to the weight of 
the body multiplied by the square of its velocity in feet per second, 
divided by 32.6 times the radius; or, if F equals centrifugal force, W 
equals weight of body, V equals velocity in feet per second and R equals 

the radius, then F = ^r^. If N equals the number of revolutions 

32.10 K 

per minute, the formula is reduced to F = .000341 WN^R. 

Properties of Air 

Air is a mechanical mixture of the gases, oxygen and nitrogen; 21 
parts oxygen and 79 parts nitrogen by volume, or 23 parts oxygen and 
77 parts nitrogen by weight. The weight of pure air at 32° F. and 29.9 
barometer, or 14.6963 pounds per square inch; or 21 16.3 pounds per 



2l6 



Air 



square foot is .0807^8 pouiuis. The volume of one pound is 12.387 cubic 
feet. 

Air e-xjiands 1/41JI.2 of its volume for every increase of 1° I"., and its 
volume varies inversely as the pressure.

CHAPTER \1 
ALLOYS 

An alloy is a combination \)y fusion of two or more metals. The com- 
l)ination may be a chemical one; generally, however, there is an excess 
of one or more of the constituents. 

Metals do not unite indiCferently, but have certain affinities; thus 
zinc ;ind lead do not unite, but either will mi.x with silver in any pro- 
portion. 

Alloys arc generally harder, less ductile and have greater tenacity than 
the mean of their components. The melting point of an alloy is as a rule 
below that of any of its components, and it is more easily o.xidized. 

The specific gravity of an alloy may be greater, equal to, or less than 
the mean of its components. 

In alloys of copper and tin the maximum tensile and compressive 
strength is afforded by a mixture containing 82.7 per cent copper and 
17.3 per cent tin. The minimum strength is shown by a composition 
of 62.5 per cent copper and 37.5 per cent tin.

Concerning the preceding table Dr. Dudley remarks: "We began to 
find evidences that wear of bearing metal alloys varied in accordance 
with the following law. That alloy which has the greatest power of dis- 
tortion without rupture will best resist wear."

Belting 

Trautwine gives the ultimate strength of good leather belting at 
3000 pounds per square inch. 

Jones and Laughlin give the breaking strength per inch of width, 
Me thick, of good leather belting as follows: 

In the solid leather 675 pounds. 

At the rivet holes of splices 362 pounds. 

At the lacing holes 210 pounds. 

Safe working load 45 pounds per inch of width for single belts, equiva- 
lent to speed for each inch of width of 720 feet per minute per horse power. 
The efficiency of the double belt compared to that of a single belt is as 
10 is to 7. 
Making D = diameter of pulley in inches. 

R = number of revolutions per minute. 
W = width of belt in inches. 
H = horse power that can be transmitted by the belt; 

then for single belts, 

„ D X RXW.

Pure iron is termed ferrite. 

In the presence of manganese, chromium, etc., hard carbides (double 
carbides) are formed, known as cementite. 

A mixture of ferrite and cementite is called pearlite. 

PearUte often consists of alternate layers of ferrite and cementite and 
in this condition, from its peculiar iridescence, is termed pearlite. 

As carbon increases, ferrite is replaced by pearlite. 

Pearlite is not found in hardened steels. 

In steels saturated with carbon, a point fixed by Professor Arnold as 
.89 per cent carbon, the whole structure is represented by pearlite. 

Steels containing less than .89 per cent carbon are known as unsatu- 
rated; those having over .89 per cent carbon as supersaturated. These 
degrees refer distinctly to iron-carbon steels; for the double carbides the 
point of saturation is slightly lowered. 

Cementite is a hard and brittle compound, but when interspersed with 
ferrite in the form of pearlite, its brittleness is somewhat neutralized by 
the adjacent ferrite. 

A steel containing well laminated pearlite possesses high ductility 
but less tenacity than when found unsegregated. 

Pig Iron 

Pig iron contains from 92 to 96 per cent metallic iron; the remainder 
is mostly composed of silicon, sulphur, phosphorus and manganese in 
greatly varying amounts. Cobalt, copper, chromium, aluminum, nickel, 
sodium, titanium and tungsten appear in some brands in minute quan- 
tities.

Grading Pig Iron 

The usual practice of furnaces has l>een to grade by fracture. 

The grades are designated, Nos. i, 2, 3, 4 or gray forge; mottled and 
white. 

No. I. — Soft; open grain; dark in color. Used for thin, light 
castings. Does not possess much strength; has great softening 
properties; is mixed advantageously with harder grades; carries large 
percentage of scrap. 

No. 2. — Harder, closer, stronger and color somewhat lighter than No. i . 

No. 3. — Harder, closer, stronger and lighter in color than No. 2; 
and inclines to gray. 

No. 4 (Gray forge). — Hard, strong, fine grained and light gray color. 

Mottled. — Hard, verj' strong and close grained. Color presents mot- 
tled or imperfectly mingled gray and white colors. 

U7///e. — Hard and brittle, breaks easily under sledge but has high 
tensile strength; color white. 

No. I iron running in the spout of the cupola displays few sparks. 
In the ladle its surface is lively and broken, sometimes flowery. 

Nos. 2 and 3 present similar appearances but less marked. 

Hard irons running from the cupola throw out innumerable sparks; 
in the ladle the surface is dull and unbroken; if disturbed the reaction 
is sluggish. 

One cannot safely be guided by the appearance of the fracture of the 

pig; as when melted it may produce a casting of an entirely different 

character than that indicated. 

• Harker and Oberhoffer have found that the specific heat of iron increases in 
about the same ratio up to within the region of the critical point (1382° F.). After 
this it remains practically constant. 



Grading Pig Iron 



243 



This method of grading is entirely unreliable as to chemical constit- 
uents (and physical characteristics) ; the degree of coarseness of fracture, 
which affects the grade more than any other property, may be due 
entirely to the rate of cooling. 

Two pigs from the same cast may produce two grades; pigs from 
different beds of the same cast may vary as much as i per cent in silicon 
and .05 in sulphur. 

The character of pig iron is often greatly affected by the accidents of 
the furnace. 

Irons produced from the same furnace at different times, from identical 
mixtures, may differ greatly in their constituents, by reason of different 
thermal conditions existing in the furnace at the time the ores were 
melted. 

Grading by fracture is so unreliable that most foundrymen specify the 
characteristics required. 

The following specifications are from Mr. W. G. Scott of the 
J. I. Case Threshing Machine Co., Racine, Wis.

The wide variation in silicon and sulphur which may occur in irons 

graded by fracture is shown in the Transactions of the American Foundry- 

mcn's /Vssocialion, Cleveland Convention; wherein appears a statement 

as to the ran^e of those elements, in the same grades of iron, made by

After long consideration, a committee of the .\merican Foundrymen's 
Association, appointed to suggest a uniform system of grading, submitted 
the following report, which was adopted at the Cincinnati Convention, 
May, 1909. 

AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION

be designated by addition of letter "X" to next lower symbol. 

In case of phosphorus and manganese, the percentages may be used 
as maximum or minimum figures, but unless so specified they will be 
considered to include the variation above given. 

Sampling and Analysis 

Each car load, or its equivalent, shall be considered as a unit in 
sampling. 

One pig of machine-cast, or one-half pig of sand-cast iron shall be taken 
to every four tons in the car, and shall be so chosen from different parts 
of the car, as to represent as nearly as possible the average quality of the 
iron. 

An equal weight of the drilUngs from each pig shall be thoroughly mixed 
to make up the sample for analysis. 

In case of dispute, the sample and analysis shall be made by an inde- 
pendent chemist, mutually agreed upon, if practicable, at the time the 
contract is made. 

It is recommended that the standard methods of the American 
Foundrymen's Association be used for analysis. Gravimetric methods 
shall be used for sulphur analysis, unless otherwise specified in the 
contract. 

The cost of the resampling and reanalysis shall be borne by the party

specified, the purchaser may at his option accept any other analysis 
which the furnace can deliver. The price to be determined by the Base 
Table herewith, which must be filled in at the time the contract is made. 



Machine- Cast Pig Iron 

Pig iron is usually cast in sand beds. The casting machine has of late 

years been adopted by some furnaces and the statement is made that 

machine-cast pig, aside from the freedom from sand, possesses other 

important advantages. That it is more uniform in character; affords 



Machine-Cast Pig Iron 



249 



greater certainty as to its chemical composition; is cleaner and melts 
more readily. 

Machine-cast pig presents a closer grain and is harder than iron cast 
in sand, by reason of the greater percentage of combined carbon. 

Upon remelting, this difference disappears and the castings show the 
same analysis. 

Mr. A. L. Colby, chemist of the Bethlehem Iron Co., gives the follow- 
ing statement regarding an experiment, made to determine the influence 
of the mould upon pig iron. 

"One half of a cast was poured into sand moulds and the other half 
into iron. Equal quantities of drillings from six pigs, selected from 
different parts of that portion of the cast which had been cast in sand 
were taken; and similar drillings were obtained from that portion of the 
cast which had been taken to the casting machine; and each was care- 
fully analyzed, with the following results:

"The high tensile strength of the machine-cast iron is due almost 
entirely to the higher percentage of its combined carbon. Some of the 
sand-cast portion of this cast, and some of the machine-cast portion were 
melted separately in the same cupola, keeping all smelting conditions 
as nearly uniform as possible; and castings from each melt were made, 
which were proved by analysis, tensile strength, ability to machine and 
appearance of fracture to be as nearly alike as different things, made 
from the same iron, ever are." 

Regarding this experiment, Mr. W. J. Keep in a communication to 
"The Foundry," remarks: 

"The experiment shows that a pig iron cast in iron moulds with a very 
close grain and high combined carbon and the same iron cast in a sand 
pig mould with open grain and low combined carbon, will each, when 
remelted in a cupola, make castings exactly alike."

The coarse open fracture presented by some pig irons, and which under 
the old system might cause them to be graded as No. i, may be due to 
an excessive amount of manganese and the iron will be hard upon re- 
melting. On the other hand, an iron may have a close grain, by reason 
of the graphitic carbon occurring in a finely divided condition and be 
graded low; when, since it is soft, it should have a much higher grading. 

Charcoal Iron 

Charcoal iron is graded according to fracture. The grades are desig- 
nated by numbers and also as soft foimdrj'; low carbon, 2.5 per cent 
total carbon; medium carbon, 3.5 per cent total carbon; and high car- 
bon, 4.5 per cent carbon. Purchases are usually made on specifications. 

Comparatively little charcoal iron is now used, since its valuable 
properties as regards chill and strength may be imparted to coke irons 
by use of the ferrometalloids and scrap steel. 

Grading Scrap Iron 

Machincr}' scrap should be free from burnt iron, wrought iron, steel, 
plow points, brake shoes, sash weights, sleigh shoes, chilled iron, stove 
l)late and fine scrap; should be broken, into pieces weighing not over 
4CX) pounds. 

.Approximately, scrap iron varying in thickness from V* inch to i inch, 
may be compared with pig iron carrjn'ng from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent 
silicon and .oS per cent sulphur. 



Grading Scrap Iron 251 

From I inch to 3 inches thick, as compared with pig iron carrying from 
I per cent to 1.75 per cent silicon and .08 per cent sulphur. Above 3 
inches thick, with an open gray fracture, as ranging in sihcon from .75 
to 2 per cent. 

In white scrap, silicon is usually very low and sulphur very high. 

Burnt iron is worthless except for sash weights and similar castings. 

The successful grading of scrap iron can only be accomplished by 
experience. 



niAP'IKR IX 

INFLUENCE OF THE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS 
OF CAST IRON 

Carbon 

CoMBiNiiD carbon increases strength, shrinkage, chill and hTdness, 
and closes the gram. 

Graphitic carbon reduces strength, shrinkage, chill, hardness, and tends 
to produce an open grain. 

Silicon softens iron by promoting the formation of graphitic carbon. 
It decreases shrinkage and strength; increases fluidity and opens the 
grain. 

Sulphur hardens iron, increases shrinkage and chill; causes it to set 
quickly in the ladle ("lose its life"); produces blow holes, shrinkage 
cracks and dirty iron. 

Phosphorus weakens iron, imparts fluidity, decreases shrinkage and 
lowers the melting point. 

Manganese in large percentages hardens cast iron. It increases 
shrinkage and chill, reduces deflection and tends to convert graphitic 
into combined carbon. In small amounts by reason of its power to 
remove sulphur and occluded gases, its tendency is to produce sound, 
dense castings, without increased hardness or shrinkage. 

To raise the strength of castings, increase manganese and reduce 
silicon and phosphorus. 

To soften iron, increase silicon and phosphorus. 

To reduce shrinkage, increase silicon and phosphorus and reduce 
sulphur. 

To prevent blow holes, reduce sulphur and increase manganese. 

To prevent kish (e.\cessivc amount of free carbon), increase scrap or 
increase manganese.

Carbon exists in cast iron as combined and graphitic. 
Professor Turner recognizes two different varieties under each of the 
general subdivisions, as follows: 

I Coarse-grained carbon or graphite. 
Fine-grained carbon, called amorphous carbon, 
or temper graphite. 

„ , . , f Combined carbon. 

Combmed ;,,,..,, , , . , „ . ,

[ tively small quantities in cast iron. 

The amount of carbon which may be absorbed by pure iron at high 
temperatures is stated differently by different authorities. 

Turner places the limit of saturation at 4.25 per cent, and cites Saniter's 
experiments as follows: 

"At cementation, heat about 1650° F., 2 per cent; by fusion, about 
2550° F., 4.00 per cent." 

Field states that pure iron at maximum temperatures absorbs 6h 
per cent carbon. 

Keep gives the saturation of charcoal iron when cold as 4 per cent and 
that of anthracite or coke irons as 3.50 per cent to 3.75 per cent. 

The saturation point varies according to the temperature. 

As iron cools below the temperature of saturation, carbon separates 
out in the form of graphitic carbon. At just what temperature this 
separation ceases is not definitely known; it is variously stated at 
1300° F., 1650° F., and as high as 1800° F. 

Since the specific heat of carbon is much greater than that of iron, it 
delays the rate of cooling as the temperature falls. 

In a mixture containing 96 per cent of iron and 4 per cent of carbon, 
the heat evolved by the carbon, during the process of cooling, retards 
the rate of cooling one-seventh. 

According to Field, an iron containing 6]/^ per cent carbon will dis- 
solve no silicon; and one containing 23 per cent of silicon dissolves no 
carbon. 

Iron having 3 per cent silicon contains approximately 0.3 per cent 
combined carbon. 

With 2 per cent silicon the combined carbon is 0.6 per cent and with 
I per cent silicon 0.9 per cent. 

As the carbon separates out in cooling, it changes from combined to 
graphitic, producing a softer, weaker iron and one having less shrinkage. 



254 Inlliuiuc of the Chemical Const it ucn Is of Cast Iron 

Tla- liital rarhon in cast iron varies from :? |>er leiil to 4>i per cent, 
a\era^;iiig alioul j.4 i>er leiil. 

With silicon as high as S to 10 |>cr cent, the total carbon falls to 2 
per cent. 

Under the same conditions, the higher the total carlxjn, the s<jfter the 
iron. A \ery soft iron may contain as little as i j)er tent combined 
carbon with 3.4 to 3.5 per cent graphitic. 

An increase of .25 per cent total carbon produces a marked increase 
in the softness, and a corres]X)nding decrease in strength and shrinkage. 

Combined carbon increases as the grades grow harder. 

Ordinarj' soft iron contains from .3 to .5 per cent combined carlx)n. 

Strong irons carry- from .45 to .9 per cent. 

The harder grades run from .6 to i per cent. 

The proportion of combined to graphitic carbon is determined: 

First. — By the total carbon present, as the greater the total carbon, 
the greater will be the proportion of graphitic to combined carbon. 

Second. — By the rate of cooling. Rapid cooling increases the com- 
bined and slow cooling increases graphitic carbon. 

Third. — By the temperature of the iron when it begins to cool. 

The higher the temperature at which the iron is poured, the longer will 
be the time elapsed in cooling and the longer the period for conversion 
of combined to graphitic carbon. 

Fourth. — By the amount and kind of other elements present. 

Silicon decreases combined and increases graphitic carbon. With 
increased silicon all the combined carbon maj' be changed to graphitic. 

An increase of i per cent silicon in cast iron, other conditions remain- 
ing the same, will convert from .35 to .47 per cent of combined into 
graphitic carbon; and under the same circumstances an increase of 
.47 per cent combined carbon will cause a corresponding decrease in 
silicon. 

Sulphur increases combined carbon as also does manganese. 

Phosphorus prolongs the cooling and thereby alTords more time for 
the separation of grajAitic carbon. 

Loss or Gain of Carbon in Remelting 

An iron may gain or lose carbon in passing ihrou;,'!! the cupola. 

There is a tendency to loss of carbon in remelting where the carbon and 
silicon are high, with hea\y blast and low percentage of fuel. 

On the other hand, where the carbon and silicon are low, with low blast 
and high percentage of fuel, the tendency is to gain in carbon. 

Hard irons melt more readily than soft; the higher the combined 
carbon, the lower the melting point. 



Loss or Gain of Carbon in Remelting 



255 



Hard irons hold their shape in meUing. The melted iron runs from 
bottom and sides of the pig freely, leaving smooth sm-faces; while 
gray irons become soft and drop away in lumps presenting ragged 
surfaces. 

Hard irojis must be melted hotter than gray for pouring as they set 
much more rapidly. 

In running from the spout of the cupola and in the ladle, hard irons 
throw off great quantities of sparks, and the surface of the iron in the 
ladle is dull and inactive when broken; on the other hand, the soft irons 
seldom emit sparks and present a lively surface in the ladle, breaking 
with innumerable checks, the soft Scotch irons showing peculiar flowery 
surfaces.

Pig iron takes up its silicon in the furnace, and the amount so absorbed 
depends largely upon the working temperatures. 

Pure iron dissolves about 23 per cent of silicon. By means of the 
electric furnace iron is made to absorb as much as 80 per cent. Those 
irons containing over 20 per cent are called ferrosilicons; where the 
silicon content runs from 5 to 10 per cent they are called high silicon 
irons. 

Iron always loses silicon in passing through the cupola, and the amount 
lost depends upon three conditions. 

First. — The amoimt of oxygen coming in contact with the metal in 
melting; oxidation increases with the blast. 

Second. — Upon the composition of the iron as it is charged into the 
cupola, the loss being greater in irons having a high percentage of siUcon 
than in those where the silicon content is low. An iron with 4 per cent 
silicon may lose as much as 2 per cent in melting, while with one verj- low 
in silicon, the loss may be inappreciable. 

The afiinity of iron for silicon decreases as the latter increases, hence 
the amount oxidized increases with increased silicon. 

Third. — The loss of silicon varies also with the percentage of carbon 
present, being greater in high than in low carbon irons. 

Silicon lowers the solvent power of cast iron for carbon, thereby 
reducing the amount of combined carbon and increasing the graphitic. 

This influence is the more powerful with the lower percentages of 
silicon; the decrease in combined carbon being particidarly rapid as 



Silicon 257 

the silicon rises from o to .75 per cent; then as the silicon continues to 
rise, the decrease in combined carbon grows less and less. 

Silicon and carbon each reduce the solubiHty of iron for the other. 

The influence of silicon is sometimes rendered less apparent by that 
of other variable elements. 

Silicon is not of itself a softener of cast iron, nor does it, per se, lessen 
shrinkage; but it produces a softening effect and reduces shrinkage by 
changing combined into graphitic carbon; the amount used should be 
just sufficient to force from solution the amount of carbon desired in the 
free state for any particular mixture and to furnish the requisite fluidity. 

For every rise of i per cent silicon in cast iron there will be a corre- 
sponding drop of .45 per cent in combined carbon and vice versa. 

Where iron is melted, very hot sihcon unites to some extent with 
sulphur, forming a very volatile sub-sulphide of silicon, thereby re- 
ducing the amount of sulphur absorbed by the iron. 

By reason of its specific heat, silicon retards the cooling of iron to a 
certain extent. It can be made to overcome many difficulties in castings, 
and to control the quality and cost of mixtures, where scrap iron is 
largely used. 

An increase of .2 per cent in silicon decreases shrinkage about .01 inch 
per foot. 

Very high percentages of silicon decrease the fusibility of iron. 

When the percentage of silicon in the casting is above 2 per cent, it has 
a weakening influence. 

Ferrosilicon is mixed with iron in the ladle for softening and reducing 
shrinkage. 

Carbide of silicon is sometimes charged with the iron in the cupola. 

Regarding the use of silicon. Prof. Turner says: "That at one time 
its presence in cast iron, in all proportions, was regarded as injurious; 
that there was no accurate knowledge of its influence prior to 1885, when 
my first paper on 'The Influence of Silicon on the Properties of Cast 
Iron' was published in the 'Journal of the Chemical Society.'"

was determined by the "Sclerometer." 

The hardness decreased continuously with the additions of silicon until 
2.5 per cent was reached, when further additions caused an increase of 
hardness. 

Tlic addition of silicon to iron free from carbon increases the tensile 
strength and hardness. The influence resembles that of combined car- 
bon on iron or steel, but is less energetic.

Silicon added to hard iron affects the size of the graphite, since the 
freshly precipitated graphite resulting from such addition is smaller than 
that found in ordinary soft foundry irons. Consequently, the metal is 
closer and stronger. 

Prof. Turner favors increasing silicon in a mi.xture of cast iron by the 
use of high silicon pig iron, rather than by that of ferrosilicon, as the 
latter differs both in fusibility and density from the iron, rendering the 
product of the mixture uncertain and irregular. "The ideal method is 
for the founder to have a fairly large stock, including several kinds of 
iron, each separate kind being a little too hard or a little too soft for the 
general run of work, but still not very different from what is required. 
By mixing these irons in suitable proportions, it is then easy to obtain 
any composition which may be desired, it being assumed, of course, that 
the composition of each variety is already kno\vn." 

During the period from 1886 to 1888, Mr. Keep made an exhaustive 
study of the influence of silicon on cast iron. The results of his researches 
as summarized in "Cast Iron" are: 

Silicon added to white iron changes it to gray; added to gray iron, low 
in silicon, makes the mixture darker. 

It is the influence of silicon, not the percentage, which produces desir- 
able qualities; and that influence is indirect, acting through the carbon 
which the iron contains. 



j6o Inllucncc of ihc Chcmiral Conslituenls of Cast Iron 

The saturation |Kjint of iron for curljon is lowered hy the addition of 
silicn, as the carbon is expelled in the graphitic form and caught between 
the grains of the iron prcxlucing a grayer color. 

If the total carbon is high, or the combined carbon low, the amount 
(if silicon required to produce a particular effect will be torresjxjndingiy 
low. Similar cITecLs are produced by a small amount of silicon acting 
through a prolonged perio<l, by rcas<jn of slow c<x)ling of large castings, 
and by a large amount acting through a short period, as in the rapid 
cooling of small castings. Hy regulating the amount of silictjn in the 
mixture the state uf carbon as well as the depth of chill can be controlled. 
The dilTusion of silicon is very irregular. Mr. Keep found in a number 
of experiments that the average variation in diffusion was from .09 to 
.24 per cent. This average increases and the diffusion is less and less 
complete as the silicon increases, so that any literal determinatives of 
silicon are rendered more or less approximative (as showing the per- 
centage of silicon in a car load of iron) by the unequal diffusion. 

As regards hardness, the addition of 2 to ^M per cent of silicon will 
convert all the comliined into graphitic carbon, which it is possible to 
change by the use of that clement. 

Silicon in itself hardens cast iron, but the softening effect caused by 
it in producing the change from combined to graphitic carbon, is such as 
to result in decreased hardness, until the amount of silicon added has 
reached from 2 to 3 per cent. Further additions are not advantageous. 
The beneficial influence resulting from the use of silicon in cast iron is not 
confined to decreased hardness. It imparts fluidity and also tends to 
produce clear, smooth surfaces on the castings, by reason of the liberated 
graphite, in part, interposing itself between the sand and the hot iron.

The sulphur in pig iron is taken up in the furnace, from the fuel and 
flux. Its presence is most injurious and causes the foundr>'man more 
difficulty than any other element. It makes iron hard and brittle, 
increases shrinkage and chill, causes iron to congeal quickly and by 
preventing the ready escape of gases, makes blow holes and pin holes. 

It increases the combined carbon and reduces silicon. 



Sulphur 



261 



When pig iron is remelted, the percentage of sulphur is always in- 
creased, as it takes up from 20 to 40 per cent of the sulphur in the fuel. 
Mr. J. B. Neu found in some experiments that as much as 66 per cent 
of the sulphur in the fuel was absorbed by the iron in melting. 

The sulphur content of the iron at each of three remeltings is given by 
Mr. Percy Longmuir as follows: 





First 
melt 


Second 
melt 


Third 
melt 


Percent sulphur 


.04 


.10 


.20 



The proportion between the total amount of sulphur present in the 
fuel, to that absorbed by the iron, is dependent on three conditions. 

First. — The quaUty and quantity of flux used. 

Second. — The temperature of the melted iron. 

Third. — The composition of the fuel and iron. 

In a hot working cupola, the proper quantity of flux will remove much 
of the sulphur. That present in the fuel as a sulphuretted hydrocarbon 
has no appreciable effect upon the percentage retained in the melted iron. 

As sulphur combines with iron at low temperatures, a hot cupola tends 
to increase the amount carried away by the slag. Where the fuel contains 
I per cent or over of sulphur, it may add from .04 per cent to .06 per cent 
to the iron and a casting made from iron having only 2 per cent of sulphur 
may, when the iron is melted with high sulphur coke, show from .06 
to .08 per cent. 

A slow melting cupola with low temperature favors the absorption of 
sulphur. 

An increase of sulphur, the other elements and the rate of coohng 
remaining constant, hardens iron by increasing the combined carbon and 
also causes greater shrinkage, contraction and chill. 

Less change in the percentage of sulphur present is required to harden 
or soften cast iron than in that of any other element. 

Sulphur shortens the time that iron will remain fluid in the ladle, 
"destroj's the life of the iron," and if present to a large extent, makes 
the production of sound castings verj^ difficult. The molten iron is 
sluggish and sets quickly, thereby enclosing escaping gases, dross, kish, 
etc., which cause blow holes and dirty castings. 

Where sulphur is present to any considerable extent, the iron must be 
poured very hot. 

Iron will absorb as much as .3 per cent sulphur with increasing fusi- 
bility and decreasing fluidity. 



262 Intlui'iKv of tlu- Clu-mu.il Constituents of Cast Iron 

An increase ni .01 per tcril of sul|)liur lan neutralize the eflecl of from 
.08 to .10 per cent silicon. In coke irons, usually, as the silicon decreases 
ihc suljihur increases. To maintain a uniform degree of hardness in 
castings the increase of silicon corresi)onding to successive increases of 
.01 per cent sulphur should be about as follows: 

Sulphur, per cent 01 .02 .03 .04 .05 .06 

Silicon, per cent 2.00 2.10 2.20 2.30 2.40 2.50 

Sulphur may be largely expelled from cast iron l)y the use of man- 
ganese, passing olT in the slag as suljjhide of manganese; the greater the 
amount of manganese present, the less sulphur will the iron absorb and, 
il is possible, where the manganese is very high, for the iron to lose 
sulphur in melting. 

From I to 2 per cent manganese, in addition to that carried by the pig 
iron, is sometimes used in the ladle, to elTect the removal of sulphur; 
care must be e.xercised in this respect, however, as manganese in excess 
of that taken up by the sulphur tends to harden the iron. 

When the fuel does not contain more than .08 per cent sulphur and 
the iron has about .5 per cent manganese, the sulphur in ordinan.- gray 
irons will increase about .025 per cent in melting. 

The injurious effects of sulphur are largely counteracted by the use of 
phosphorus. Other elements remaining constant, an increase of .1 
per cent phosphorus produces about the same results in counteracting 
the effects of sulphur as does an increase of .25 per cent silicon. 

By the use of phosphorus instead of silicon for this purpose, the 
fluidity of the iron is greatly increased; gases, dross, etc., can come to 
the surface and greater freedom from blow holes, shrink holes, etc., 
results. 

Irons with high combined carbon are usually high in sulphur. Long- 
muir gives the following as the result of e.xaminations of the sulphur 
content for different amounts of combined carbon.

The sulphur content of pig iron usually runs from .01 to .08 and some- 
times higher. 

Prof. J. J. Porter concludes his remarks on the effects of sulphur upon 
the physical properties of cast iron as follows: "Through the formation 



Phosphorus 263 

in the iron sulphide of eutectic films, it causes brittleness and weak- 
ness, especially to shock. Through its action on the carbon it increases 
hardness and may either increase or decrease strength according as the 
combined carbon is already too low or too high. It has a great tendency 
to cause blow holes, especially near the upper surface of thick castings. 
So marked is this effect in pig iron that high sulphur pig may nearly 
always be spotted by the presence of blow holes in the top surfaces. 

"Sulphur probably has a more detrimental effect on low silicon, or 
chill iron, than on the ordinary foundry grades. All of these effects of 
sulphur are considerably lessened by the presence of sufficient manganese 
to insure its being in the form of MnS, but on the other hand, the segre- 
gation of MnS may cause bad places in the casting, apparently due to 
dirty iron." 

The statements given above are those generally entertained as regards 
the deleterious influence of sulphur. They are not, however, entirely 
confirmed by the investigations of Prof. Turner and Mr. Keep. The 
former remarks that: "We are still in need of exact information as to the 
influence of sulphur in cast iron." After a long series of experiments to 
determine the injurious effect of sulphur on cast iron, Mr. Keep con- 
cludes that the presence of .05 per cent of that element will not exert any 
appreciable deleterious influence, and that what little ill effect results 
is corrected by a slight increase of siHcon. Such small percentage of 
sulphur does not seem to influence the depth of chill, nor does there 
appear to exist any relation between the sulphur content and the strength 
of an ordinary casting. 

"While there is no indication that sulphur is in any way beneficial, on 
the other hand, evidence is lacking to show that its influence is ever any- 
thing but injurious; and the suggestion arises from the records, that the 
prevaiUng opinions regarding the deleterious effects of sulphur are partly 
superstitious, due, largely, to laboratory experiments made under con- 
ditions never met with in the foundry."

The phosphorus content in pig iron comes mostly from the ore, but 
also in part from the fuel and flux. 



264 Infliuncc of ihe Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron 

Phosphorus weakens cast iron, lowers its melting point, imparts 
fluidity, tends to soften and decreases shrinkage. 

It has no direct elTect on carbon, but since it prolongs the cooling 
of meilcd iron it gives more lime for graphitic carbon to separate 
out. 

Its influence in imparting fluidity is greater than that of any other 
element, hence its presence within moderate limits (i to 1.25 per cent) is 
especially desirable for light, thin castings. 

After it is once taken up by the iron very little of it escapes, but its 
percentage is frequently increased if it exists to any extent in the fuel 
or flux used in melting. 

Phosphorus largely counteracts the influence of sulphur to increase 
combined carbon, shrinkage, contraction and chill. \n increase of 
.1 per cent phosphorus in the iron will produce about the same physical 
results in counteracting the effects of sulphur, as an increase of .2$ per 
cent silicon, all other elements remaining constant. 

Where over .7 per cent phosphorus is present in the iron it tends to 
make the latter cold short and unless there is necessity for extreme 
fluidity the phosphorus content should not exceed i per cent. 

By reason of its tendency to increase fusibility, it should be kept as low 
as possible in castings required to stand high temperatures. 

In machinery castings containing 1.5 per cent phosphorus, the tools 
are quickly heated and worn. 

Where great strength is required of castings, the phosphorus content 
should not exceed .02 per cent. 

Where blow-holes are formed in castings, by reason of occluded gases, 
phosphide of iron is frequently extruded into them in the shape of 
globular masses or shot. 

Ferrophosphorus may contain from 20 to 25 per cent phosphorus and 
is sometimes used in the ladle where prolonged fluidity is desired. 

Prof. Turner states that the presence of 0.5 phosphorus in cast iron 
produces excellent results and that where fluidity and soundness are 
more important than strength, from i to 1.5 per cent may be permitted; 
it should not be allowed in excess of the higher limit. According to 
Prof. Porter, the addition of i per cent phosphorus to iron containing 
3.5 per cent carbon and 2 per cent silicon approximately: 

Lowers the temperature at which freezing begins from 2200° to 2150° F., 
or 50° F. 

Lowers the temperature at which freezing ends from 2165° to 1740° F., 
or 425° F. 

Increases the temperature range of soUdification from 50° to 375° F.

Manganese is a white metal, having a brilliant crystalline fracture. 
It has a strong affinity for oxygen and sulphur, but none for iron; alloys 
with iron in all proportions. 

The manganese in pig iron comes from the ores. Foundry irons 
contain from .2 to 2 per cent manganese. 

Manganese pig from 2 to 10 per cent; spiegeleisen from 15 to 40 per 
cent; ferromanganese from 50 to 90 per cent. 

There is always a loss of manganese in remelting. It escapes by 
volatilization; by oxidation, and if sulphur is present, by uniting with 
it to a greater or less extent. The amount of loss depends on the amount 
of blast and percentage of sulphur present in the fuel. 

With I per cent manganese present in the iron the loss of Mn in re- 
melting varies from .2 to .3 per cent. 

A peculiarity of manganese is that it may impart to pig iron, or castings, 
a very open grain, rendering them apparently soft, even though they are 
quite hard. 

It greatly afifects the capacity of iron to retain carbon; where only 
.75 per cent Mn is present in the iron the carbon content may be as high 
as 4 per cent. 

It decreases the magnetism of cast iron and when present to the extent 
of 25 per cent the magnetism disappears. 

As the percentage of manganese in iron increases, that of sulphur 
decreases. 

On the other hand, the higher the manganese, the greater the combined 
carbon. 

Manganese hardens cast iron, promotes shrinkage, contraction and 
chill; but by reason of its affinity for sulphur and its removal of this 
element, it may produce effects precisely the opposite of those above 
stated. However, if the amount of manganese is greater than that 
required for the removal of the sulphur present, the excess causes the 
iron to take up more carbon in combination, and hardness results. 

Increasing manganese above .75 per cent, the other elements remaining 
constant, causes greater contraction and chill on account of its hardening 
influence. These effects may be very pronounced in light castings. 



266 Inllucnrc of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron 

On account of its strong alTinity for oxygen it tends greatly to the 
removal of oxides and occluded gases, thereby preventing blow-holes. 

Manganese pig iron is an ordinary iron, carrying somewhat more 
manganese than the ordinary foundry irons. 

It is used to raise the coml)ined carbon, to add strength U) the mixture, 
to fjrcvcnl blow-holes, to give life to the iron and for the removal of kish. 

I'errumanganese comes to the foundry in a fine powder. It is used in 
the ladle in the proportion of about i pound to Goo pounds of iron and 
acts as a puritier, driving out sulphur, softening the iron where hardness 
is due to sulphur and reducing the chance of blow-holes. 

WTien used in this way the iron must be very hot, as with dull iron it 
does little good. It should be thoroughly incorporated with the iron 
Ijy stirring. It must be used with caution, as irons with low silicon and 
carbon and high manganese are hard and shrinky. 

The use of manganese pig iron in the cupola gives better results, and is 
less expensive than that of ferromanganese in the ladles. 

It is claimed for manganese that it makes hard iron soft and soft iron 
hard. 

With respect to the influence of Mn upon chill, Mr. Keep's views are 
at variance with those above given. He states that manganese does not 
increase chill, but under certain conditions may aid in removing it.

Aluminum is a white metal, resembling silver; very soft and malleable; 
has a great affinity for oxj'gen; alloys with iron to an unlimited extent. 
It does not occur in pig iron, ^^'hen added to iron in the ladle it 
should be thoroughly mixed by stirring. 

Its influence on cast iron resembles that of silicon, in producing a 
softening effect by the conversion of combined into graphitic carbon. 

A white iron to which from .5 to .75 per cent of aluminum has been 
added becomes gray. 

Aluminum decreases shrinkage and chill, and increases fluidity. By 
reason of its aflinity for oxygen it tends to prevent the formation of 
blow-holes. 

It closes the grain of irons high in graphitic carbon, but may render 
them sluggish and dirty. When used in amounts exceeding 1.5 to 2 



Titanium 267 

per cent it has a weakening influence. Hard irons containing from 1.25 
to 1.4 per cent combined carbon are made stronger by the addition of 
aluminum. The amount of aluminum wliich may be used varies from 
.25 to 1.25 per cent; its action is somewhat uncertain and its alloys with 
iron are erratic at times, producing results the reverse of those anticipated.

Nickel is a white metal having a silvery color; it is highly ductile and 
does not oxidize readily. Alloys with iron in all proportions. When 
used in quantities varying from .5 to 5 per cent, its tendency is to 
harden, render more dense and increase the tensile strength of cast iron. 
In large amounts it is said to have a softening influence. 

Mr. A. McWilliams found that an alloy of white Sweeds iron with 50 
per cent nickel gave a soft fine gray metal, even when cast in sections 
from I to 3 inches thick, in chills. 

Cast iron containing from 25 to 30 per cent nickel resists corrosion. 

Nickel is little used in cast iron, except where great strength is re- 
quired. It imparts most valuable properties to steel.

Titanium is found in many brands of foundry and Bessemer irons, 
running in percentages from a trace to i per cent. It increases the 
strength of cast iron to a marked degree. An addition of from .01 to 
.06 per cent titanium has shown in test bars an increase of 40 per cent 
in transverse strength. 

It has a strong affinity for oxygen and nitrogen. 

Ferroalloys are made to contain from 10 to 30 per cent titanium. 

When ferrotitanium is added to iron in the ladle, it unites with the 
oxygen and nitrogen, the resulting oxides and nitrides passing oflE in the 



268 Inllucncc of llu- Clumical Conslituenls of Cant Iron 



slag; none of llie titanium remains in the iron, except when used in large 
quantities; its elTect then is to harden the iron. 

I'omicrly titanic irons were carefully avoided and it docs not appear 
that fcrrotilanium has as yet been used to any great extent by foundrj'- 
mcn. 

Investigations by Dr. Richard Moidenke and Mr. G. A. Rossi indicate, 
however, that the use of ferrotitanium promises a marked improvement 
as regards strength and the removal of nitrogen and oxygen from cast 
iron. Mr. Rossi found as the result of his experiments that the addition 
of 4 per cent of a lo per cent ferrotitanium to cast iron increased the 
transverse and tensile strength from 25 to 30 per cent. 

Dr. Moidenke gives the following summary of results obtained by him.

Increase of strength of treated iron over original 52 per cent — 18 per cent. 

From the above summary it appears that the greatest increase in 
strength was found in gray iron. 

With vanadium and cast iron the Doctor found results directly con- 
trary to the above. He calls attention to the fact that the improve- 
ment in strength is almost as marked with .05 per cent to .1 per cent 
titanium as with .15 per cent, showing that any excess of titanium over 
that required to produce oxidation is wasted; hence .05 per cent will 
be sufticient for foundry practice. 

He found that titanium reduces chill but the chill produced is very 
much harder than that made in the usual way. 

Titanium is of value as preventing blow-holes and producing sound 
castings.

270 Inllucnce of ihc Chirnical Conslilucnls of Cast Iron 

I lie vimadium alloy used conlaincd: 
Nanadium 14. G7 pur cent; (.arbuii 4.36 per cent; silicon 0.18 fwr cent. 

The analyses of the lest bars show much more vanadium than was 
used. This is attriliutcd to errors arising from the difliculties exijcrienced 
in making the experiments on too small a scale. 

Dr. Moldenke ci includes: "The results shown in the tabic sjieak for 
themselves, and the averages tallied ofT for each table show a remarkable 
progression of values. To increase the breaking strength of a test bar 
from 2000 up to 2500 for gray iron and 1500 up to 3900 for white iron, 
is sufficient to warrant further investigation on the part of every foundry- 
man, who has special problems in strength to master." 

Thermit 

Thermit is a mi.xturc of oxide of iron and aluminum, which when 
ignited burns at an intense heat (resulting temperature is said to be 
5400° F.) in consequence of the great affinity of aluminum for o.xygen. 
This compound is made by the Goldschmidt Thermit Co. 

Its use in the foundry is to raise the temperature of dull iron; to keep 
the iron in risers fluid, and for the mending of broken castings. A 
titanium thermit is also made by same company. 

This is used for the introduction of titanium, to remove nitrogen and 
oxygen, as well as for its heating eCfect. The claim is made, that cast 
iron can be advantageously used in place of steel castings, if titanium 
thermit is employed in connection with it. Nickel thermit is used for 
the introduction of nickel. 

Oxygen 

Atomic weight 1 5 96 

Speciflc gravity (compared to atmos- 
pheric air 3 2 T. and one atmosphere) i 1 056 
Weight per cubic foot 624.8 grains 

No element, perhaps, causes the foundryman more trouble than 
o.xygen. Iron oxidizes very rapidly at high temperatures, in presence of 
air. The oxides are readily dissolved in molten iron and the gases 
liberated from them in the castings are the frequent cause of cavities and 
blow-holes. 

Ferrous oxides, produced in the process of smelting, are found to a 
greater or less extent in all pig irons. Those irons in which mill cinder 
heis been largely used, often contain high percentages of dissolved 
oxides. 



Nitrogen 271 

Frequently the ends of broken pigs present blow-holes in body of the 
pig, or worm-holes toward the upper surface. These are certain indi- 
cations of the presence of oxygen or sulphur and such iron should be used 
carefully. 

In remelting in the cupola, as the molten iron passes through the 
tuyere zone, more or less oxidation occurs, especially if the bed is high 
and the blast strong. 

Rusty scrap (fine scrap particularly) furnishes ferrous oxides in large 
amounts. 

The removal of ferrous oxides may be largely effected in the cupola by 
an abundance of hot slag. 

Ferromanganese and aluminum are used in the ladle for same pur- 
pose. 

The most effective deoxidizers are the metals in the order named 
below : 

Titanium Aluminum 

Vanadium Sodium 

Magnesium Manganese 

Calcium Silicon 



Nitrogen 

Atomic weight 14.01 

Specific gravity (air i) -9713 

Specific heat . 244 

Weight per cubic foot 548.8 grains 

Nitrogen is absorbed from the blast as a nitride, by iron in melting; 
and as the metal cools, the gas is liberated. 

Very little is known as to the influence of nitrogen upon cast iron; its 
effect upon steel is very injurious; as little as .03 per cent causing a great 
loss in tensile strength and nearly eliminating ductility. Gray pig irons 
show only a trace of nitrogen from .007 to .009 per cent; in white iron 
it sometimes runs as high as .035 per cent. 

So far as tests have been made it does not appear that, in gray iron, 
any relation exists between the quality of the iron and the nitrogen 
content. 

It has a remarkably strong affinity for titanium, combining with it to 
form a nitride, which is insoluble in molten iron and passes off in the slag. 
Ground ferrotitanium previously heated is used in the ladle for removal 
of nitrogen. 

Arsenic and copper are sometimes found in pig iron, but in amounts so 
small that the effects produced by them are inappreciable. 



272 Inllui-ncc of the Chemical Constituents of C;ist Iron 

In concludinK the subject of metalloids, the statement made by Prof. 
I'orter ;is to the ;ii)|)ri)ximale intlucncc of the more important ones on 
combined carljon must not be omitted. 

I [)cr cent silicon decreases combined carbon 45 per cent. 

I per rent sulphur increases " " .... 4 . 50 |)cr cent. 

I per cent mimnancse " " " 40 per cent. 

I per cent phosphorus " " " 17 per cent. 



CHAPTER X 
MIXING IRON 

The mixing of iron for the cupola is done either by fracture or by 
chemical analysis. 

Mixing by Fracture 

The fracture of the freshly broken pig is taken as the index of its com- 
position. A dark gray color, with coarse open crystalline grain indicates 
a soft iron, and, as a rule, one capable of carrying a large percentage of 
scrap. As the color becomes lighter and the grain closer, hardness 
increases and less scrap can be used. Very hard irons are mottled or 
white and are used for special work. 

A broken pig may present a dark fracture with open grain, but with a 
fine white streak showing at the outer edges of the fracture. Such an 
iron will make hard castings, owing to the presence of too much man- 
ganese. 

Blow holes and worm holes indicate sulphur or ferrous oxides. Iron 
showing these with frequency should be used carefully. 

Segregations, much lighter in appearance than the rest of the fracture, 
frequently appear. These indicate higher percentages of carbon, sulphur 
or manganese at those particular spots and the iron should be used 
with care. 

Mixing by fracture is uncertain and is liable to produce irregular and 
unsatisfactory results. 

The foundryman must always proceed cautiously and can only arrive 
at the results desired by careful trial. The following mixtures are taken 
from West's " Foundry Practice." 

Locomotive Cylinders 
2600 pounds car wheel scrap. 
600 pounds soft pig. 

Marine and Stationary Cylifiders

300 jjounds steel rail butts. 

Killles to Stand Red Heat 
1300 pounds No. I charcoal pig. 
800 pounds car wheel scrap. 
700 pounds good machinery scrap. 

Chilled Castings to Stand friction {no strain) 
200 pounds white iron. 
200 pounds plow points. 
1 00 pounds No. 2 charcoal. 
100 pounds car wheel scrap. 

Ordinary Castings 

33 per cent No. i soft pig. 
67 per cent scrap. 

Tliin Pulleys 

66 per cent No. i soft pig. 

34 per cent scrap. 

Sash Weight 

67 per cent scrap tin. 
^:i per cent stove scrap. 

The advent of the chemist into the foundry offers means to avoid 
many of the uncertainties coming from the selection of irons by fracture, 
and the more advanced foundrymcn are now mixing their irons by 
analysis. 

Mixing Iron by Analysis 

This method of mixing iron is by no means entirely removed from 
uncertainties. The chemist is not yet able to insure the production, from 
irons of known chemical composition, of castings of defmite physical 
characteristics. Analysis should be supplemented by physical tests. 

-Again, while the foundryman may have correct analysis of his pig iron, 
if scrap is used to any extent, especially foreign scrap, he must approxi- 
mate the elements contained therein. 



Mixing Iron by Analysis 



275 



The statements made on page 307 offer some little assistance, but, in 
general, reliance must be placed on experience in this respect. Where 
the scrap comes entirely from previous casts, one can readily arrive at 
its constituents and much uncertainty is removed. 

The qualities necessary for different grades of castings may be sum- 
marized as follows: 

1. Hollow Ware, Stove Plate, Sanitary Ware. — Require fluidity, 
softness; must be high in silicon and phosphorus; low in combined 
carbon. 

2. Light Machinery Castings. — Require fluidity, softness, strength 
and absence of shrinkage. Must be high in total carbon and manganese; 
low in sulphur and contain less silicon and phosphorus than grade No. i. 

3. Heavy Machinery Castings. — Require softness, strength and low 
shrinkage. Should be lower in silicon, phosphorus and graphitic carbon 
than No. 2. Higher in combined carbon and manganese; low in sulphur. 

4. Castings requiring great strength should be low in silicon, graphitic 
carbon, sulphur and phosphorus. Combined carbon should be about 
.50 per cent; manganese .8 per cent to i.o per cent. 

5. Car Wheels and Chilled Castings. — Require low silicon, phosphorus, 
graphitic carbon and sulphur. High combined carbon and manganese. 

6. Chilled Rolls. — Require low silicon, graphitic carbon and phos- 
phorus. High combined carbon. 

The following table is abstracted from "Proceedings of the American 
Foundrymen's Association," Vol. X, Part II, which contains the results 
of a long series of tests made by their committee to standardize test bars. 
The mixtures are not given as being recommended by the committee for 
the several purposes, but simply to indicate the practice of some of the 
larger American foundries.

Knowing the desired analysis for any class of casting to be made, the 
simplest way to arrive at the amounts of the different irons to be used 
is by percentage. For example, let the requirements be for an iron to 
produce machinery castings of which the analysis shall be : 



Silicon 


Sulphur 


Phosphorus 


Manganese 


2.00 


.084 


.350 


.625 



As previously stated, the loss in silicon in remelting will be from 10 
to 20 per cent, the same for manganese, and a gain of .03 in sulphur, 
phosphorus remaining constant. The mixture then must contain: 



Silicon 


Sulphur 


Phosphorus 


Manganese 


2.22 


.054

Where the scrap is very nearly of uniform quality, the analysis of the 
castings from any given heat furnishes data from which a very close 
approximation can be made of the scrap used in the previous heat. 

Assuming such character of scrap, and knowing the mixture used in 
any heat as well as the analysis of the castings, compute the analysis of 
scrap used in previous heat. 

Let the castings show the analysis of example 2, viz.: Si, 2.40, S, .09, 
P, .70, Mn, .52. Then the] mixture must have been as before. Si, 2.66, 
S, .06, P, .70, Mn, .577.

CHAPTER XT 

USE OF STEEL SCRAP IN MIXTURES OF CAST IRON 



Steix scrap, when added to mixtures of cast iron in quantities varying 
from lo to 40 per cent, closes the grain, increases the toughness and adds 
greatly to the tensile strength of the castings made from such mixture. 

The steel should be low in carbon, such as boiler i)lalc scrap, machine 
steel, rail ends, etc. 

Turnings from machine steel are frequently used in the ladle. In this 
case the steel should be heated quite hot, placed in the ladle and the iron 
tapped out on it. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred until the 
steel is melted. In aU cases the iron must be very hot. 

Mixing steel in the ladle does not give as satisfactory results as mixing 
in the cupola. 

.\s the steel is low in carbon the iron used should be high in total carbon, 
otherwise the castings will be hard with over 10 per cent steel scrap. 

The following table by Mr. 11. E. Diller presents the results of a scries 
of tests, with mixtures made by varying in percentages of steel scrap from 
I2V4 to 37!^ per cent:

These tests were made with pig iron, ferrosilicon and steel scrap. No 
cast iron scrap was used. Mr. Diller concludes: "The tests given seem 

290

to indicate that 25 per cent of steel will add 50 per cent to the strength of 
the iron, and i2>^ per cent of steel, approximately 25 per cent." 

The tests containing 37'/^ per cent steel were hardly as much im- 
proved in strength as those with 25 per cent of steel; from which we may 
infer that the limit of the amount of steel it is beneficial to melt with 
iron in a cupola is between 25 and 371^ per cent. 

Results of experiments made by Mr. C. B. McGahey are embodied 
below.

"I find that to get the strongest bars I have to keep pretty close to 
these analyses and have made my strongest bar at 2350 pounds with 
.55 inch deflection. The iron had a fine grain, was low in graphite, but 
machined nicely. 

When ferromanganese was used, about i per cent was found to be 
best. The above resulting compositions (the silicons of the mixtures 
being calculated to bring them about right) are intended for castings 
ranging from i inch to 2H inches in section. 

Should heavier work be required it is better to run the silicon in the 
pig up to 2.75 and manganese up to 2.00 and use $3^^ per cent of steel 
scrap." 

An addition of 10 per cent steel scrap to mixtures for engine cylinders 
gives excellent results affording a close-grained tough iron. Steel scrap 
increases shrinkage and causes the iron to set quickly; hence the irons 
used should be high in total carbon and must be melted and poured very 
hot. 

Steel scrap promotes chill and is largely used with coke irons in making 
car wheels, obviating the use of the expensive charcoal mixtures. 

The charges containing steel should be melted during the first part 
of the heat, and in each charge the steel should precede the iron. 

Recovering and Melting Shot Iron 

The shot from gangways and cupola bottom is usually recovered by 
riddling the gangway sand; picking over the dump and by grinding the 



2Q2 Use of Steel Scrap in Mixtures of Cast Iron 

hollnm in the i indcr mill. Tliis is also done by magnetic or hydraulic 
sci)aratt>rs. The amount recovered by machines is much greater than 
that obtainecl by hand. 

After charging of the cujxila is completed, the shot should Ijc thrown 
on toil of the last charge, using with it some of the coke picked from the 
(lumj). Kach heat should take care of the shot from the previous one. 

The melted iron coming from the shot can be poured into grate bars, 
sash weights, or other coarse castings; or it may fjc run into pigs and 
used as scrap. 

Mr. \V. J. Keep describes his method of recovery as f(;llows: "After 
the blast has been shut ofT and all of the melted iron has been drained 
from the cupola, make a dam on the floor in front of the cupola spout 
about 4 inches high, enclosing a semicircular space, having a radius of 
about 4 fe«t. Let the melter lay a tapping bar across the spout and have 
three or four laborers with a piece of old iVi inch shafting about 8 feet 
l<jng ram in the breast. If the bottom and spout have been made right 
there will be no melted iron in the cupola, but ram back and forth to 
allow all to drain out. 

All the liquid slag in the cupola will run into the enclosed space 
underneath the spout and if there is any iron in this, it will run through 
the slag and lie on the floor in the form of a slab which can be picked up 
the next morning. 

When the cupola has been emptied of all slag and iron drop the 
bottom. I like to draw the refuse out from underneath the cupola, 
turning it over and cooling it down with water. The pieces of the sand 
bottom are thrown to one side and all the iron that can be seen is picked 
up. All the iron taken from the cupola dump, the pig bed, or from the 
gangways, which is not bad casting, is weighed up and charged as remelt 
or home scrap. 

All remaining small pieces of coke, iron or slag are shoveled up from 
the bottom and from all [jarts of the foundry and placed in boxes on the 
cupola platform. This includes skulls from the ladles which comtain 
more or less iron. 

WTien the last charge of iron has been placed in the cupola and the 
heat is near enough to the end to show that there will be no shortage of 
iron, throw into the cupola any shot iron that may be left over, and all 
the refuse previously mentioned. The iron and slag will be melted at 
once and the small bits of coke will hold the blast down and insure hot 
iron. 

All the finest shot iron is saved in this way, as well as all coke in the 
form of small pieces and nothing is lost." 

The disposition on the part of many foundrj'men is to neglect the 



Melting Borings and Turnings 293 

saving of shot iron, preferring to sell to junk dealers what can be readily 
recovered. Such will not be the case, however, in a well-managed foundry, 
as by close attention to its recovery the loss in melt can be reduced 
from I to 2 per cent. 

At one of the large western foundries, through mismanagement, shot 
had been allowed to accumulate until a portion of the yard was covered 
to a depth of from 12 inches to 20 inches. This was dug up, milled and 
melted; 1500 pounds, at each heat, were thrown on top of the last charge, 
without additional fuel; the melted iron was run into pigs. 

Over 84 tons of No. 4 pig were recovered; 25 per cent of the scrap used 
in charging was replaced by this iron and the usual mi.xture was in no 
other respect changed. 

Burnt Iron 

This class of iron is of no use e.xcept for making sash weights. When 
used for ordinary purposes, the loss caused is greater than the gain. It 
makes iron hard, causes a great amount of slag and chokes up the cupola. 
It should be carefully selected and thrown out of the scrap. 

Melting Borings and Turnings 

Cast iron borings and turnings which are usually disposed of to junk 
dealers at a low price may be advantageously melted by packing them 
in wood or iron boxes, about 100 pounds to the box. 

The boxes should be charged a few at a time, by throwing them into 
the center of the charge and covering them with scrap. These will 
descend to near the melting zone before they are burned or melted. 

Mr. W. F. Prince has patented a process for melting borings, etc., 
which consists of packing them in sheet iron pipes, with or without 
bottoms. The pipes are of any convenient length, from 30 to 48 inches; 
the first one is placed on the coke bed and the others on top of it, with 
the charges surrounding them. 

This differs little from the method of using boxes, where the latter are 
piled on each other. In either case the containers prevent the fine 
material from being blown out of the stack. 

Many attempts have been made to render borings, etc., suitable for 
melting, by briquetting. So far, these efforts seem to have been only 
partially successful. 

A process has recently been developed in Germany, by which the 
borings are made into briquettes under hydraulic pressure. It is claimed 
that the product successfully meets the purpose and preliminary tests 
made in America seem to warrant the statement.

"Throughout the whole line of operations only regularly constituted 
mixtures were used, the balance of the heats from which these test bars 
were cast going directly into commercial castings of the classes designated. 
The results are, therefore, entirely comparable with daily practice. 

For purposes of comparison green sand and dry sand bars were made 
side by side. 

It was felt that comparison records were wanted just as much as 
specifications for the separate lines of product. For this reason, we 
recommend one standard size of test bar for comparative purposes only, 
each class of iron being given its special treatment for the information 
wanted in daily practice in addition. 

294 



Test Bars 



295 



"Our studies on the shape of the test bar have resulted in the selection 
of the round form of cross section and this mainly on the score of great- 
est uniformity in physical structure. . . . There is still a further 
point of interest, in the preparation of test bars and that is, the making 
of coupons from which the quality of the castings to which they are 
attached is to be judged. This method is used extensively in govern- 
ment work and in the making of cyl- 
inder castings. 

The idea of obtaining material 
from the same pour in the same 
mould as part of the casting itself is 
good enough in theory. Unfortu- 
nately, however, this direct connec- 
tion introduces elements of segrega- 
tion and temperature changes in the 
cast iron which make this test less 
valuable than is generally supposed. 
At best the iron which has passed 
through the different parts of a 
mold before entering the space for 
the coupon will not be representa- 
tive of the whole body, but rather 
one portion of it only. We therefore 
recommend the method shown later 
on in Fig. 75. The metal can be 
poured from crane or hand ladle, 
clean and speedily, and possesses the 
temperature of the average iron in 
the casting more nearly than the 
coupon method now practiced. 

Your committee while giving spe- 
cifications for the tensile test of cast 
iron is of the opinion that the trans- 
verse test is the more desirable and certainly within reach of even the 
smallest foundry. 

In selecting the test bars for the purpose of specification, we have 
followed the cardinal principle of selecting the largest cross section for 
the iron consistent with a sound physical structure and within the range 
and structural limits of an ordinary testing machine. 

The following are the sizes of bars selected for tests as a result of 
our investigations. 

For all tensile tests, a bar turned to .8 inches in diameter, corre- 




@

296 Tt'Sl Bars 

sponding to a cross section of 14 sfjuarc inch. Results, therefore, multi- 
l)lictl by two, give the tensile strength per sfjuarc inch. 

I'or transverse test, of all classes of iron for general comparison; a 
bar I H- inches in diameter, on supports, 12 inches ajjart; pressure applied 
in the middle and deflection noted. 

Similarly for ingot mould, light machinery, stove plate and novelty 
iron, a I'i-inch diameter l)ar; that is to say, for irons running from 2 per 
cent in silicon ui^ward, or from 1.75 per cent silicon upward where but 
little scrap is in the mixture. 

For dynamo frames, sash weights, cylinders, heavy machinery and 
gun metal irons; similarly, a 2-inch diameter bar is recommended, that 
is, for irons running from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent in silicon or where 
the silicon is lower and the proportion of scrap is rather large. 

I'or roll irons, whether chilled or sand, and car wheel metals, a 2^4- 
inch diameter bar is recommcnrled ; that is, for all irons below i per cent 
silicon and which may, therefore, be classed as the chilling irons. 

The method of moulding the test bar we would recommend is given 
herewith. 

At least three bars of a kind should be made for a given test. 

The sand should not be any damper than to mould well and stand the 
wash of the iron without cutting, blowing or scabbing. It should be 
rammed evenly to avoid swells and poured by dropping the metal from 
the top through gates, or from ladle direct into the open mould. 

iVfter the bars are cast they should remain in their moulds undis- 
turbed until cool." 

Proposed Standard Specifications for Gray Iron Castings 

1. Unless furnace iron, dry sand, loam moulding, or subsequent 
annealing is specified, all gray iron castings are understood to be of 
cupola metal; mixtures, moulds and methods of preparation to be fixed 
bj- the founder to secure the results required by purchaser. 

2. All castings shall be clean, free from flaws, cracks and excessive 
shrinkage. They shall conform in other respects to whatever points 
may be specially agreed upon. 

3. When the castings themselves are to be tested to destruction, the 
number selected from a given lot and the tests they shall be subjected to 
are made a matter of special agreement between founder and purchaser. 

4. Castings under these specifications, the iron in which is to be 
tested for its quality, shall be represented by at least three test bars cast 
from the same heat. 

5. These test bars shall be subjected to a transverse breaking test, 
the load applied at the middle with supports 12 inches apart. The 



Patterns for Test Bars of Cast Iron 



297 



breaking load and deflection shall be agreed upon specially on placing 
the contract, and two of these bars shall meet the requirements. 

6. A tensile strength that may be added, in which case at least three 
bars for this purpose shall be cast with the others, in the same moulds 
respectively. The ultimate strength shall also be agreed upon specially 
before placing the contract and two of the bars shall meet the require- 
ments. 

7. The dimensions of the test bars shall be as given herewith. There 
is only one size for the tensile bar and three for the transverse. For the 
light and medium weight castings the i^ inch D bar is to be used; 
for heavy castings, the 2 inch D bar; and for chilling irons the 2],^ inch 
n test bar. 

8. When the chemical composition of the castings is a matter of 
specification, in addition to the physical tests, borings shall be taken 
from all the test bars made; they shall be well mixed and any required 
determination (combined and graphitic carbon alone excepted), made 
therefrom. 

9. Reasonable facilities shall be given the inspectors to satisfy them- 
selves that castings are being made in accordance with specifications, 
and if possible tests shall be made at the place of production prior to 
shipment."

Modulus of Ruplurc in I'ouuds Per Square huh 

Tlie rtport of the committee is accompanie<J by a table giving the 
mcxluli of rupture jier wjuare inch for bars under the various con- 
ditions (jf the tests and from '« s<|uare inch to i6 square inches. It was 
found that, with few exceptions, the values decrease as the areas 
increase. 

In the table on pages 299 and 300, which is extracted from their 
reiwrt, the moduli are given for bars ha\ing areas of i square inch, 
2.25, 4. and 9 square inches. 

"The results show that rough bars arc stronger than machined and 
that there is practically no diflerence between bars made in green or dry 
sand. 

An examination of the table shows that the transverse strength is 
greater in the rough than machined bars, except in two instances, \iz.: 
D bar, series J, in drj' sand the rough bar broke with 178 pounds less 
load than the machined bar. O bar, series L, in dry sand, the rough 
bar broke with 115 pounds less load than did the machined bar. The 
average loss in transverse strength of the green sand bar by machining 
was 12 per cent; that of the dry sand bar 10 per cent. 

The following articles are introduced as showing how little reliance 
can be placed on the results from test bars. It is shown that bars 
identical in chemical composition, but made from diflerent brands, differ 
widely in physical properties; indicating the importance of using in 
mixtures, irons from different localities, as well as from different furnaces. 
The micrographs show clearly the variation in structure corresponding 
to the widely varv'ing results, but it remains for the metallurgist to point

Erratic Results — Test Bars 

Mr. F. A. Nagle submitted to the American Society of Mechanical 
Engineers the following report of his investigation of test bars for castings 
used in the Baltimore Sewage pumps. 

"In machinery castings as well as in cast i)ij)es, separate bars are cast 
and subjected to tensile or transverse stress to the breaking point, these 
results being used as evidence of compliance with the contract speci- 
fications. The writer has examined a large number of such test bars for 
castings used in the Baltimore Sewage pumps and here reports the results 
of this examination and study. 

Perhaps the most important conclusion is that the test bar is not to 
be regarded with loo much confidence as indicative of the exact strength 
of the casting. All transverse bars were nominally 2 indies by i inch by

24 inch centers. They were cast from two patterns in one mould and 
made in the same kind of sand as the main casting. The flask was 
inchned about 30 degrees. There was but one gate for the two bars with 
suitable risers. The iron for the bars was poured from a small ladle of 
iron taken as nearly as possible from the middle of the pour of the main 
casting. 
The breaking loads were, corrected for varying dimensions of the bars 



by the formula W = 



Wbd^ 



, where b and d are the actual dimensions, 



W the actual breaking load and W the corrected load of weight. These 
results are used throughout this paper. The deflections were not 
corrected. 

The tensile bars, 1% inches by 6 inches, were cast upright in the same 
mould as the main castings, within 3 or 4 inches thereof, and connected 
by an upper and lower gate. The tensile bars were turned to i i-i inches 
in diameter and threaded, and the middle portion reduced to 1.129 inches 
in diameter which is equal to i square inch area. Table I gives the 
results of the chemical analysis of the several bars tested.

From Aug. 5, 1907 to April 4, 1908 there were made 67 single tensile 
bars, and the same number of pairs of transverse bars; and the average 
of the latter was used in this record. From April 4 to Dec. 19, 1908, there 
were made 91 pairs of tensile bars and an equal number of transverse 
bars and each piece of the pair is recorded instead of the average. 

Of these 249 tensile bars and their corresponding transverse bars, 32 
sets — 26 flat and 6 round — ^were rejected for defects due to blow-holes 
and four tensile bars were too hard to bear threading, but the companion 
pieces were used in this record. 

Of the 217 specimens here recorded, 42 were designated as abnormal; 
that is, the ratio between the tensile and the transverse bars was either 
considerably greater or smaller than the average.

By referring to Table II it will be seen that of the 175 specimens of 
cast iron runninj^ from 20,000 l<j jo.ooo pounds Icnsilc strength, the 
ratio of tensile to breaking loads is practically 10 to i and the deflection 
0.45."

Breaking loads, presumably alike, varied in pairs of transverse bars 
and also in pairs of tensile bars as follows: 



Comparison of Test Bars 



303 



Out of 65 pairs of flat or transverse bars, 14 or 22 per cent, average 
variation 18 per cent; 17 or 26 per cent, average variation 5.4 per cent; 
34 or 52 per cent, average variation less than 2 per cent. 

Out of 65 pairs of round or tensile bars 22 or 34 per cent, average 
variation 15 per cent; 20 or 31 per cent, average variation 5.5 per cent; 
23 or 35 per cent, average variation less than 2 per cent. 

61 other pairs of flat bars which had only one companion tensile bar 
varied in about the same ratios. 

Two special flat bars and two special round bars, cast in one mould, one 
gate a.id at one pour varied as follows: 

Two flat bars 12 per cent; two round bars 7 per cent. 

In order to get some more definite information on these variations, if 
possible, I had a pair of transverse and a pair of tensile bars made and 
cast in the same mould and while the average was again nearly 10 to i as 
shown in Table III, the same type of bars again varied 12 and 7 per cent 
respectively.

I have no satisfactory explanation for the great variation of these test 
bars and we can only accept the fact that mathematical uniformity in 
strength of cast-iron bars is not found in the present state of the art. 

To any one questioning the results, I can only say from my own 
knowledge of the circumstances, that the personal equation did not enter 
into them. 

Careful observation of broken bars did not show that the so-called 
"skin of the metal " was of any appreciable thickness and the metal was 
remarkably homogeneous throughout. 

The tensile bars being turned, the skin, if there was anj^, of course 
disappeared. 

It is my opinion that the skin adds practically nothing to the strength 
in either transverse or tensile bars; other causes, though obscxire, produc- 
ing far greater deviations."

Test Bars 



Casting Defects 



Although many castings were cundcnincd for physical defects not a 
single case of cold-shut was observed. 

In one instance of defect, he says: "To remove all doubt that the test 
bars were truly representative of the iron in the main casting, two tensile 
bars were cut out of a large flange which had been at the bottom of the 
mould. These, from the most favored |)art of the casting, as will be seen, 
stood but about 17.350 pounds; 90 per cent of that revealed by the test 
bars. In this case there was a rcmarkaijlc agreement between this pair 
of test bars. 

It may be interesting to apply these results to the formula for the 

strength of cast-iron beams subjected to similar stress. 

^ PI 
The formula commonly used is /? = —^ , where R is called the modulus 

2 b(P 

of rupture, or stress per square inch of extreme fibre, 

P = load at center, 
/ = length between supports in inches, 
b and d = breadth and depth respectively in inches. 

Make the proper substitutions and we have R = 42,840 pounds. 
This is not the correct figure, however, for the extreme fibre stress. We 
know this cannot exceed the tensile strength which we have found to be 
23,732 pounds. 

I think it is better to use D. K. Clarke's formula given on page 507 of 

his " Engine Tables." S = j-jr , where 5= extreme fibre stress or 

1-155 od^ 
tensile strength. If we use the tensile strength found in these tests as 
23,732 pounds, the breaking load W would become 22S4 pounds; the 
actual breaking load being 2383 pounds. As this is within 4.3 per cent 
of the average found in these tests, this formula, using the tensile strength 
for the extreme fibre stress, seems to me to be more intelligible and dis- 
penses with the "coefiicient of rupture." 



Circular Test Bars 

Since the foregoing was written I have had the opportunity to ob- 
serve two circular test bars, nominally iV* inch diameter by 15 inches 
long, with 12-inch centers. These bars were cast from two separate 
patterns in one vertical dry sand mould, and poured from a small 
hand ladle, first one and then the other, with the result shown in 
Table V.

The tensile bars were taken from the bottom ends of the broken test 
bars, but I do not know whether H or X was poured first. 

The first tensile bar H had a small air-hole, which being allowed for, 
added 7 per cent to its tensile strength, and this is also given in the table. 
A second bar was then turned up from the immediate joining piece with 
the result recorded in the table first. The turned bars were 0.937 inch 
diameter. 

Column six gives the original diameter. Column two was found by 
reducing the actual breaking loads in the ratio of the cubes of the diam- 
eters, and column three was reduced to the square inch area. Why the 
transverse breaking loads should vary 10 per cent and the tensile bars 
4 to 7 per cent the opposite way, a total variation of 14 to 17 per cent, I 
leave to the reflection of the reader. If we apply Clarke's formula for 



the breaking weight for circular bars, W = 



0.7854 X d^ X S 
I 



, we find the 



values given in column five. 

While the blow-holes seem to be more frequent in flat transverse bars 
than in round attached tensile bars, the latter seem liable to a greater 
abnormal hardness, for which I have no explanation. 

Some indication of the toughness of cast iron may be seen in its deflec- 
tion, which is not revealed in a direct pull. I would, therefore, be 
satisfied with two or three transverse test bars 2 in. by i in. by 24 in. 
centers, and a deflection record poured as near as may be from the middle 
of the pour of the main casting as giving a fair indication of the iron 
in the main casting, but mathematical exactness cannot be looked for as 
yet. 

If we wish to know approximately the corresponding tensile strength 
of the iron, we can multiply the breaking load of the 2 in. by i in. by 24 
in. flat bar by 10. 

If the test bar is iH inch diameter by 12-inch centers its breaking 
load should be multiplied by 8 to obtain the approximate tensile 
strength.

Test Uars 



The general rule seems lu be, that where lx)lh flat bars agree in break- 
ing loads, the tensile strength is lo to i uf the breaking load, but where 
they differ the lo lo i ratio docs not hold. A belter practice, therefore, 
might be lo cast three round transverse bars and accept the two that 
agree, if each is round, as a fair siimple of the iron, disjx'nsing with the 
tensile bars. This concession lo ihc manufacturer, I believe, v/ould 
entail not only no loss lo the city's interests, but a positive gain. 

EFFECT OF STRUCTURE OF CAST IRON UPON ITS 
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 

Microscopic Evidence of the Reason why Ikons of 

Similar Chemical Composition have Different 

Relative Strengths 

BY 

F. J. Cook and G. Hailstone 

" During daily foundry practice, with work made from mixtures of iron 
that have the same chemical composition and where tests are frequently 
taken, it is often found that widely different physical results are obtained. 
Instances of this have been brought to the notice of this association 
. . . but in neither case was an explanation of the phenomena given. 
Attempts have been made to give a satisfactory explanation of these 
differences, but on the whole the conclusions arrived at have not been 
generally accepted. 

In the past the instances cited have generally been isolated ones, but 
a remarkable series of tests over a lengthy period has recently been met 
with by one of the authors.

brands of pig iron. 

That the chemical analysis was identical in each case was proved by 
analyses taken from time to time which, in each instance, for all practical 
purposes came out alike. 

The diagram shows that the highest tensile result in the A series was 
lower than the lowest result in the B series. A summary of the whole 
of the tests is shown in Table I.

Each tensile test bar was i inch square and transverse and hardness 
bars were cast relatively of the same size, and on the casting they were 
to represent; while the 54-inch transverse bars, which were also used 
for the shrinkage test, were cast separately by Keep's method. 

The transverse bars were cast iH inch square, machined down to 
I inch square and tested on 12-inch centers. 

Referring to Table I, it will be seen that the results of the transverse 
tests on the i inch square bars also show a marked difference, as do the 
tensile tests. It will be noted, however, that the average result of the 
transverse test on the ^4-inch square bars is slightly in favor of the series 
which gave the weakest tensile, and with the i-inch square bar opposite 
results. This point will be referred to later. 

As the method of manipulation and the chemical composition of the 
two series were the same, it was thought that a microscopical analysis 
would reveal a cause for the vast difference. For the first investigation 
a low bar of the A series, and the highest bar of the B series were ex- 
amined. The chemical analysis of the two bars was first taken as 
shown in Table II.

Chemical Analyses 

These analyses will be seen to he practically identical, even to the 
amount of the combined and graphitic carbon. 

To insure the results being absolutely comparative, a number of 
micrographs were each taken from the same position at the center of 
the bars. Fig. 79 shows the polished, but unetched section of the low 
bar from the .1 series. Fig. 80 the high bar from the B series. These 
show the size of the graphite in each case, the one having it in the form 
of long flakes, the other in very small flakes.

Fig. 80. 



Figs. Si and 82 show the same surfaces etched with iodine and magni- 
fied 1 20 diameters. In the one case the large flakes of graphite are plainly 
seen in a matrix of cementite, phosphorus eutectic, peariitc and ferrite; 
while in the other, the graphitic carbon is scarcely visible and a closer 
structure is observed. Otherwise, there is nothing very remarkable to 
account for such widely different physical results.

The same surfaces were then treated on the lines laid down by Mr. 

Stead at the 1909 convention, to bring into prominence the phosphorus 

eutectic. Fig. 83 shows the 9.1 ton bar, and Fig. 84 the 18.3 ton bar. 

In both cases not only is the phosphorus shown but the cementite as 

. well. 

In Fig. 83 the phosphorus and cementite are evenly distributed, and 
have not taken up any definite form of structure, the graphite being also 
shown intermixed with them, but in Fig. 84 a very remarkable arrange- 
ment of a net-like formation of phosphorus and cementite is shown. As

it had been noticed with bars previously examined that those giving 
high test had also been associated with this particular net-like structure, 
we were lead to the conclusion that probably strength was associated 
with this structure independently of what the chemical composition 
might be; we, therefore, examined a series of bars made by one of the 
authors a few years ago to show the effect on strength of different rates 
of cooling. For this experiment four bars had been made in one box, 
cast from the same ladle of metal, which was ordinary No. 3 foundry 
pig iron. 

Taken from " castings," Aug. 1909.

The rale of cooling was re^ulalt-d \)y means of cast iron chills of 
(lidercnt thicknesses placed in the moulds for three of the bars, the other 
having no iron chill. The bar without the chill gave a tensile test result 
of 8.1 tons per stjuarc inch, while the bar at the other end of the series 
broke at 15.2 tons per s(|uare inch. These two bars were selected, the 
chemical analyses of which are given in Tabic III.

These results are identical, and as there is practically no combined

also totally diCfcrent in chemical composition from those previously 
examined.

one.

formation which was the distinguishing feature of the strong bar from 
the B series, but with this difference, tliat the structure was rather 
smaller. 

As there is no cementite present in this specimen, it is proof that the 
particular formation is not dependent upon cementite. 





Fig. 87. 

There was next examined another bar from B series. This had a 
tensile strength about half way between the two bars previously selected, 
and had given a tensile test result of 13.9 tons per square inch. The 
analysis of this bar is shown in Table III. This showed that while the 
total carbon and other elements were practically the same as the two 
bars previously taken, the graphitic carbon was higher by 0.35 per cent, 
and the combined carbon lower by 0.35 per cent. This was probably 
due to the fact that this bar had been cast on a much larger casting than 
the previous two. 

The size of the graphite in this bar is illustrated by an unetched 
section in Fig. 89 which shows that although it is smaller than that shown 
in Fig. 79 of the 9.1 ton bar, it is larger and more elongated than that 
contained in the 18.3 bar, Fig. 80. 





Fig. 89. 



Fig. go. 



The phosphorus eutectic which is shown in Fig. 90 is the same net-like 
formation as associated with the previous strong bars, though rather less 
dearly defined and appears to be getting into the transition stage between 
the two. 



312 Test Bars 

The foregoing results, we think, have been sufficient to show that in 
each case, physical properties ha\e been associated with this net-Uke 
formation of the phosphorus, also that the graphite, when in the elongated 
form, appears to split up phosphorus eutectic and prevent this formation, 
as clearly shown in F'ig. 83. The question of the tendency of the graphite 
to take either an elongated or finely divided form, we think, is more a 
question of the way in which the pig iron has been made than of its 
subsequent treatment in the foundry. The statement of Mr. Pilkington 
in this respect is very interesting: "Furnace men have always been 
conversant with the fact that the temperature at which pig iron leaves 
the tapping hole of the furnace has a powerful effect on its physical 
characteristics. The temperature of a large modern blast furnace is 
very much higher and the metal, therefore, takes very much longer to 
cool than that which leaves the tapping hole of the smaller furnaces. 

Pig iron from the extreme types could be made practically in a 
different manner altogether, and would show very different grades, grains 
and degrees of hardness. 

On referring again to the sunmiary of tests taken with the A and B 
series it will be seen that the results of the ,' 2-inch transverse bars of the 
A series, which gave weak tensile results, are slightly higher than those 
of the B series, and from this, together with the evidence of the chilled 
and unchilled bars made from low grade iron, we are of the opinion that 
no matter what their chemical compositions may be, there is a rate of 
cooling which will give high physical properties; the structure of the 
iron then being associated with the net-like formation of the phosphorus 
eutectic and the cementite when present. 

Tests reported to the International Association for Testing Materials 
show: 

Circular bars showed greater bending and tensile strength than those 
of rectangular section. 

Test pieces taken from castings showed lower strength figures than bars 
separately cast. 

Extracts from Prof. Porter's Report 
Prof. Porter's report contains so much information of value to the 
foundryman, that extensive extracts are made from those parts relating 
to the properties and mixtures of cast iron, notwithstanding they may 
comprise much which has already been considered. 

In treating of the different forms of iron as occurring at differ- 
ent temperatures, they are designated as the "alpha," "beta" and 
"gamma." 
The "alpha" form in the ordinary iron as known in unhardened steel 



Chilled and Unchilled Bars 



313 



at ordinary temperatures, is one of the constituents of slowly cooled 
gray pig iron, and is formed below 1140° F. 

The "beta" form is that between 1440° F. and 1680° F.; it is harder 
than the "gamma." Prof. Howe suggests its identity with martensite, 
the chief constituent of hardened tool steels. It is non-magnetic and 
diflfers from "alpha" iron in specific heat and density. 

The "gamma" form is the stable one above 1680° F., is very hard, 
non-magnetic, and differs in specific heat and density from both the 
"alpha" and "beta." 

It is held that the "gamma" and "beta" forms may be preserved at 
ordinary temperatures by verj^ rapid cooling, especially in the presence 
of carbon which is supposed to retard the change from one form into 
another.

CHAPTER XIII 
CHEMICAL ANALYSES 

Strength 

As regards chemical composition there are nine factors which influence 
strength of cast iron: (i) Per cent graphite; (2) size of individual graphite 
flakes; (3) per cent combined carbon; (4) size of primary crystals of 
solid solution Fe-C-Si; (5) amount of dissolved oxide; (6) per cent 
phosphorus; (7) per cent sulphur; (8) per cent silicon; (9) per cent 
manganese. 

1. "Per cent graphite. — The weakening effect of graphite is due to 
its own extreme softness and weakness, and to the fact that it occurs 
in small flakes or plates and hence affords a multitude of cleavage planes 
through the metal. The size of the graphite particles is evidently 
important as well as the amount but this factor will be discussed under 
another head. 

Theoretically, the simplest method of decreasing graphite is to lower 
the silicon, each decrease on i per cent in silicon lessening the graphite 
by 0.45 per cent, provided the total carbon remains the same. Practi- 
cally, however, the fact that all the carbon not graphite becomes combined 
is an important objection, for when we lower the silicon too much the 
resulting increase in combined carbon increases the hardness and, beyond 
a certain point, decreases the strength. The minimum permissible 
silicon will depend chiefly on the hardness allowable. 

The same objection applies to decreasing the graphite by increas- 
ing the sulphur and manganese, and in the case of sulphur there is 
also the objection that its direct effects are injurious. The rate of 
cooling is, of course, beyond the control of the foundryman in the 
majority of cases, while even if it were not, the graphite could not 
be reduced by rapid cooling without a corresponding increase in com- 
bined carbon. 

Coming finally to the total carbon, we find here a means of reducing 
graphite without in any way affecting carbon, and hence, hardness. 
The only limitation to this is that as total carbon and graphite are 
reduced, shrinkage is increased and the metal becomes more liable to 
oxidation, blow-holes and other defects. 

31S 



3i6 Chemical Analyses 

There are three ways of reducing total carbon in castings; first, by 
ihc use of low carbon pig iron; second, by melting in the air furnace; 
tliird, by the use of steel scrap in the cupola mixture. 

In air furnace melting it is easy to reduce total carbon to almost any 
U^UTC within reason. 2.75 per cent is commonly obtained in melting for 
malleable castings. Of course the silicon is also burnt out during this 
l)rocess, but were it desired, this could be readily replaced by suitable 
additions of ferrosilicon. From the standpoint of quality the air 
furnace is certainly the ideal method of melting, and hence, we find that 
many lines of castings which must be of particularly high quality are 
invariably made from air furnace metal. 

The addition of steel scrap to the cupola has now become common 
practice, the product obtained being known as semi-steel and differing 
chemically from ordinary cast iron only in being somewhat lower in 
total carbon and graphite. Physically the metal so made is characterized 
by greater strength and total shrinkage, hardness remaining about the 
same. ..." 

The chief points to be watched in melting steel scrap in the cupola 
mixture are as follows: 

" Trouble with hlow-hohs. — This is due to the fact that semi-steel being 
lower in carbon oxidizes more readily than cast iron. The trouble may 
usually be overcome by correct cupola practice and the use of ferro- 
manganese or other deoxidizers in the ladle. Owing to the higher 
melting point of semi-steel mixtures, ferromanganese is much more 
efficient as a deo.xidizer here than in the case of cast iron. . . . 

Tligh shrinkage. — This is due to the decrease in graphite and is 
hence inevitable. On work where this is an important factor a proper 
balance must be struck between shrinkage and strength. . . . 

Imperfect mixture of steel and iron resulting in irregular quality of 
casting, hard spots, etc. — This results from the higher melting point of 
steel and consequent difficulty of getting perfect solution in the cast 
iron. It ma)' be largely overcome by careful attention to the charging 
of the cupola, placing the steel scrap on the coke and the iron on top of 
the steel (so that the steel will reach the melting zone first and the molten 
pig wall run down over the heated steel instead of away from it as would 
happen if the order were re\'ersed). \ large recei^^ng ladle should, of 
course, be used also. Another point to be obser\'ed is in regard to the 
size of the steel scrap. Too large scrap is difticult to melt, but, on the 
other hand, very small scrap is also objectionable as being an abundant 
source of hard sjiots in the castings. .Apparently very small pieces of 
steel are liable to be washed down through the coke bed and out of the 
cupola spout without being completely melted. 



Strength 317 

Regarding the amount of steel scrap to use, it has been found by trial 
that the best results are obtainable with about 25 per cent. Increase to 
33 '4 per cent caused a slight falling off in strength. Probably these 
figures would not hold for every condition of practice, but, in general, 
20 to 30 per cent steel is a sufficient amount to give the maximum 
results. 

2. Size of graphite flakes. — The size of the graphite flakes is prob- 
ably the most important factor of all those which influence strength, and 
is the one which most frequently upsets our calculations as to the rela- 
tion between chemical composition and strength. . . . Recently, how- 
ever, Messrs. F. J. Cook and G. Hailstone have brought out in a striking 
manner the great difference in irons in this respect. They give data 
showing that of two mixtures practically identical in composition the 
one was invariably much lower in strength (usually about one-half) 
than the other, this being the case for a great many heats extending over 
a long period of time." 

Analyses and tests are given as typical of the series. 

"Messrs. Cook and Hailstone have investigated and compared the 
micro-structure of the strong and weak bars and record two interesting 
facts: First, that the graphite flakes are invariably much larger in the 
weak bars; second, that when the polished specimens are treated so as 
to bring out the phosphide eutectic this eutectic is seen to be arranged 
in the customary heterogeneous manner in the weak bars but in a dis- 
tinct meshwork structure in the strong iron. 

These authors draw the conclusion that it is this meshwork structure 
which gives great strength to cast iron, but with this conclusion the 
writer cannot entirel}^ agree. It seems more probable that the increase 
in strength is caused by the fine state of division of the graphite and that 
the same influences which have caused this have also caused the meshwork 
structure. 

We may get some idea of the quantitative relationship between 
strength and size of graphite by considering the relative strength of 
malleable cast iron and a very open gray cast iron representing the 
smallest and largest graphite respectively. Malleable cast iron has a 
tensile strength of 40,000 poimds and upwards per square inch; open 
gray iron about 20,000 pounds per square inch. Apparentl}', then, the 
increase in the size of the graphite has caused a loss of at least 20,000 
pounds in tensile strength. 

It is one thing to find that to get strong iron we must have the 
graphite in finely divided state and another and much more diflicult 
matter to formulate rules whereby we may secure this desired 
condition. . . . 



3i8 Chemical Analyses 

The factors which inlluciuc the size of the graphite flakes in cast 
iron are as follows: 

A. Factors which certainly exert an influence. 

a. Rate of cooling. 

b. Pouring tempgrature. 

B. Factors which may possibly exert an influence. 

c. Time which iron has remained in the molten state. 

d. Presence of dissolved oxide. 

e. Presence of steel scrap in the mixture. 
/. Mixture of difl'ercnt brands. 

g. Nature of ore from which iron is made and treatment in the 

blast furnace. 
h. Per cent metalloids. 

a. The influence of rate of cooling is undoubted, and an example 
showing its effect on strength and structure is given by Cook and Hail- 
stone. We have to distinguish here, however, between the rates of 
cooling through different ranges of temperature. Evidently the graphite 
which is separated within the semi-Uquid iron will have a much better 
chance to grow large cr>'stals owing to the greater mobihty of the medium 
in which it is formed, while that graphite formed within the solid metal 
will necessarily be in small particles. Hence, we see that it is the rate 
of cooling through the soHdification range 2200° to 2000° F., which is 
of prime importance, and if we can check the formation of graphite 
through this range and then allow it to form in the solid metal at lower 
temperatures we will have all the conditions for both the soft and strong 
iron. This is the principle of Custer's process of casting in permanent 
moulds and the making of malleable castings is based on the same theory." 

b. The pouring temperature also undoubtedly exerts an influence 
on the size of the graphite flakes, and hence, on the strength. ..." 

Longmuir finds that iron poured at a medium temperature is stronger 
than when poured either very hot or very cold. Longmuir's e.xperi- 
ments, b}' the way, are the only ones in which a pyrometer was used and 
the temperatures of pouring measured in degrees. . . . For this 
reason we may place the greatest faith in Longmuir's results. 

It is probable that the pouring temperature affects the size of the 
graphite flakes indircctlj' through changing the rate of cooling through 
the solidification range. On this assumption the best results should be 
obtained from metal poured at as low a temperature as will suflSce to 
give sound castings. 

c. Time uhicli iron has remained in the vwUoi stale. This might 
tunceivably have an effect in the case of cast iron high in total carbon, 



Strength 319 

since graphite separating in the liquid metal would remain in the metal 
if poured at once, and this graphite is in the form of large flakes known 
as kish. 

d. Presence of dissolved . oxide. — There is no direct proof that this 
affects the size of the graphite flakes. However, it is well known that 
addition of deoxidizing agents almost invariably improves the strength 
and it is barely possible that a portion of this may be due to change in 
the size of the graphite. 

e. Presence of steel scrap in the mixture. — Although no exact data 
are at hand it is the common impression that the addition of steel scrap 
'closes the grain,' which is equivalent to saying that it reduces the size 
of the graphite. . . . 

/. Mixture of irons. — It is firmly believed by many foundrymen 
of the old school that a mixture of brands gives better results than a 
single brand of the same chemical composition as the average of the 
mixture. . . . 

g. Cook and Hailstone believe that the difference in strength of the 
two mixtiures quoted by them is due to some inherent quality of the pig 
iron derived from the ores used or their manner of treatment in the blast 
furnace. This inherent quality may have some connection with the 
presence of oxygen or nitrogen in the metal. ..." 

h. Per cent metalloids. — This, we know, has a certain effect. For 
example, high silicon is likely to, cause larger graphite as well as more 
of it. Phosphorus should, theoretically, cause larger graphite since it 
prolongs the solidification period in which large flakes are free to separate. 
. . . Sulphiur and manganese . . . close the grain, and probably 
diminish the size of the graphite, as well as its amount. 

3. Per cent combined carbon. — According to Professor Howe the 
properties of cast iron are the properties of the metallic matrix modified 
by the presence of the graphite, but since this metallic matrix may be 
considered as a steel of carbon content equal to the combined carbon of 
the cast iron, we can predict accurately the effects of combined carbon 
by the use of the data on steel. 

In the case of steel it is found that the strength increases regularly 
with the carbon up to about 0.9 per cent, then remains nearly stationary 
up to about 1.2 per cent, above which it falls off slowly. 

In the case of cast iron the strength is dependent upon so many 
factors besides combined carbon that it is almost impossible to determine 
by direct experiment the percentage of combined carbon giving the 
maximum strength. All indications, however, are that the highest 
strength is obtained with somewhere between o. 7 per cent and i per cent 
combined carbon which is in sufficiently close accord with the corre- 



320 Chemical Analyses 

sjxjnding value for stccl. \Vc may, therefore, stale tentatively that the 
maximum strength is obtained with 0.9 per cent carbon, all other factors 
remaining constant. 

Tliis applies only to tensile strength (and approximately to transverse). 
I or lompressivc strength a somewhat higher value, probably alxjut 1.5 
l>cr cent combined carljon, would be found to give Ijellcr results. 

4. Size of primary crystals 0/ solid solution Fe-C-Si. — There is 
absolutely no data as to the cflcct of this factor on the strength of cast 
iron and it is only from analog)- with steel that we give it a place in the 
list of actors influencing strength. ..." 

5. Ejfect oj dissolved oxide. — ... It is j)robabIy a much more 
important factor than is generally supposed, but there is absolutely no 
data on which to base a quantitative estimate of its effect." 

To reduce o.xide in cast iron to the minimum, the following points 
may be obscr\ed : 

First, get the best brands of pig iron. It i.s probable that pig made 
with charcoal fuel contains less o.vygen than that made with coke fuel. 
Cold blast pig is better than hot blast. Pig iron made from easily 
reducible browTi or carbonate ores is lower in oxygen than the pig made 
from red hematite or magnetic ores, whih iron made from mill cinder 
should never be used in foundries 'uliere strength is a prime consideration. 
Moreover, a pig iron high in manganese is apt to be comparatively free 
from oxide because of the deoxidizing power of manganese at the high 
temperature of the blast furnace. It is noteworthy as confirming these 
obserx'ations that most brands of iron which have achieved a reputation 
for strength are high in manganese and many of them are charcoal irons. 
The Muirkirk and Salisbury brands wloich have been knowTi for years 
as among the strongest irons made in this country answer to every 
one of these conditions. They are made from readily reducible ores 
using cold blast and charcoal fuel and contain from i to 2 per cent 
manganese." 

Second, avoid oxidizing conditions in the cupola, particularly high- 
blast pressures and wrong methods of charging. Dr. Moldenke's 
system of using small charges is to be higldy recommended in this 
connection." 

Third, deoxidizing agents may be used, added either to the cupola 
or to the metal in the ladle. Of the commercially available deoxidizers, 
ferrotitanium, ferrosilicon and ferromanganese are, perhaps, the most 
successful, all things considered. Titanium thermite is also extremely 
valuable in this connection. ..." 

6. Per cent phosphorus. — Phosphorus lessens both the djTiamic and 
static strength, but the former more than the latter. It weakens be- 



Strength 321 

cause it forms with iron a hard and brittle compound which has but 
little resistance to shock. The weakness produced is in nearly direct 
proportion to the amount of this compound present. The efifects of 
•phosphorus on strength do not become marked until upward of i per 
cent is present, but for great strength and particularly strength to shock 
it should be much lower. Ordinary strong irons may have up to 0.75 
per cent, while iron which is to withstand shock should not exceed 0.50 
per cent and is better even lower. ..." 

7. Per cent sulphur. — The action of sulphur in decreasing the strength 
of iron is explained in Chap. IX, page 261, and it is also explained 
there why it is so much less harmful in the presence of manganese. 
Many tests have been made showing that sulphur has no marked effect 
on strength and many foundrymen will use sulphur to harden iron and 
close the grain. It is true that an indirect strengthening effect can be 
obtained through the use of sulphur in some cases, i.e., if too soft an 
iron is being used the strength will be increased by the addition of any 
element which will lessen the graphite, but the hardening is usually better 
obtained through decrease in silicon than through increase in sulphur. 
While increased sulphur may not always show in decreased strength of 
test bars, yet it is a frequent source of blow-holes, dirty iron and various 
defects caused by high shrinkage, hence, it often causes an indirect 
weakness in the iron. 

8-9. Per cent silicon and manganese. — These elements act chiefly in 
an indirect manner and because of their effects on the condition of the 
carbon; their direct influence in the strength of the metallic matrix is 
unimportant. From analogy with steel it is probable that sihcon in 
amounts of over i per cent causes weakness and brittleness in the metal. 
Similarly, manganese has probably a weakening effect due to its direct 
action when present in amounts of more than 1.5 per cent. 

The preceding discussion is summarized in the following practical 
rules for making strong castings: 

Use strong brands of iron. . . . Charcoal irons if cost will permit; 

irons made from easily reducible ores; irons high in manganese. 
Avoid oxidation in melting. Look carefully after the details of 

cupola practice; avoid oxidized scrap; use deoxidizing agents in 

ladle if practicable. . . . 
Keep the silicon down as low as possible and still have the necessary 

softness. About 1.50 per cent will be right for the ordinary run 

of medium castings; higher for small castings and lower for 

heavy ones. With low total carbon high sihcon has less effect. 
Keep the phosphorus low, especially when sulphur is high. 0.50 

per cent or under is best. 



322 Chemical Analyses 

Keep ihc sulphur low, especially if phosphorus is high. Unrler 

o.io per tenl is all right for most castings." 
Keep manganese high, i per cent for large castings, 0.7 per cent 

for medium, 0.5 per cent for small castings. 
Use from 10 to ^5 jkt lent steel ^crap in the mixture. 
Mk. Ki:t;p recommends using 10 per cent cast iron Iwrings charged 

in wooden Ixjxes. He states that this is very effective in closing 

the grain and strengthening the castings. 

For iron which is required to have the greatest possible resistance 
to shock, the points to be especially observed are as follows: 

Keep the phosphorus as low as practicable, still having the necessary 
fluidity. It should best be below 0.30 per cent. 

Keep the sulphur as low as possible. 

If practicable add vanadium or titanium to the ladle either in the 
form of ferroalloy or as thermite. . . . 

Elastic Properties 

Of the elastic properties of metals, only toughness and its opposite, 
brittlcness, and elasticity and its opposite, rigidity, are ordinarily con- 
sidered in cast iron. 

Toughness is defined as resistance to breaking after the elastic limit 
is passed. 

Elasticity is the amount of yield under any stress up to the elastic hmit. 

It is unusual for these properties to be determined separately in cast 
iron, but their sum is given by the deflection which is determined in 
transverse testing. It is probably true that they nearly always vary 
together, and, hence, that deflection is a fairly good measure of either 
one as well as both. 

Toughness is practically always a desirable quality in cast iron, but 
the same is not true of elasticity since in many machines great rigidity 
is a i)rime requisite. 

The factors influencing toughness and elasticity are about the same 
as those influencing strength, i.e., the chemical composition, presence of 
oxide and size of graphite. ... In general, to get a tough elastic 
iron we should keep sulphur, phosphorus and combined carbon low; 
manganese, no higher than is necessar>' to take care of the sulphur; 
graphite and silicon, the less the better, providing that the combined 
carljon is not increased; and finally, use metal of good quality, melted 
carefully so as to be free from oxide. 

In ordinar>' gray iron castings it is not practicable to attempt to 
control the graphite, since the combined carbon needs first attention and 



Elastic Properties 



323 



the graphite will necessarily be the difference between total carbon and 
combined carbon. The silicon also must be adjusted with a view to 
regulating the combined carbon. Practical rules for getting the maxi- 
mum toughness and elasticity will then be about as follows: 

SiHcon, 1.5 to 2.0 per cent for castings of average thickness, more or 
less for very light and very heavy castings respectively. 

Sulphur as low as practicable, best under 0.08 per cent. 

Phosphorus as low as practicable considering the necessity for 
fluidity. Best under 0.50 per cent. 

Manganese from three to five times the sulphur. 

Use good irons and good cupola practice to insure freedom from 
dissolved oxide. . . . 

"In case steel scrap can be used, i.e., semi-steel made, the toughness 
may be considerably increased through decrease in the amount of graphite 
and in the size of the grain. The other elements may remain about as 
before except that it may be necessary to run the manganese a httle 
higher to counteract the greater tendency of the semi-steel to become 
oxidized. 

As previously noted, rigidity is desirable in some cases. This is the 
converse of elasticity and may be obtained by the direct opposite of the 
rules given for obtaining elasticity. However, to get rigidity with the 
least sacrifice of strength and toughness it is desirable to use manganese 
and combined carbon rather than to increase phosphorus and sulphur. 
That is, we would lower silicon as much as necessity for softness will 
allow and raise manganese to about i per cent (or less in very light work). 
It should be noted that manganese is particularly efficient in increasing 
rigidity since it accomplishes this end with comparatively little sacrifice 
of strength and toughness. 

A few examples of very tough and elastic iron are as follows:

Hardness 

. . . It is generally stated that hardness in cast iron is due chiefly 
to the presence of combined carlxm and is only indirectly or to a less 
extent caused by other elements. The writer believes that this is not 
altogether true and that there is another factor causing hardness which 
has not heretofore been generally considered in the case of cast iron." 

It is well known that when steel is hardened by quenching from a 
temperature above its critical point its carbon is not in the combined 
state l)ut rather in a form known as hardening or solution carbon, while 
the iron is retained in the 'gamma' allotropic form. It is the bcUef of 
the present wTiter that the same is true of cast iron and that many cases 
of hardness are to be explained in this way. For example, Keep de- 
scribes a sample of cast iron which was too hard to drill and yet containetl 
only 0.60 per cent combined carbon, and many analyses are on record 
of irons which have been quenched from comparatively low temperatures 
and are almost glass hard in spite of the fact that the combined carbons 
are under i per cent. I think it probable that the hardness of high 
manganese irons is due chiefly to this same cause since manganese is 
known to favor the retention of 'gamma' iron. 

Granting for the present the truth of this theory, the presence of the 
'gamma' or hard form of iron is controlled by the rate of cooUng and the 
percentages of metalloids present; so that for all practical purposes we 
can say that there are six factors which influence hardness, i.e.. the rate 
and manner of cooling, the combined carbon, silicon, sulphur, man- 
ganese and phosphorus. The first two of these are of the greatest 
importance and we will then take up in reverse order, leaWng the most 
important till the last. 

Phosphorus has a slight hardening eCfect in large quantities but in 
amounts less than i per cent its eCfects are nearly unperceptible, and it 
does not become important until the amount exceeds commercial Umits, 
or, say, 1.5 per cent. We may, therefore, usually neglect the efJects of 
phosphorus in considering hardness. 

Manganese, although usuallj- regarded as a hardening agent may 
sometimes soften iron. This anomalous result is cxplaincil l)y the action 
of manganese on sulphur. If the iron is high in sulphiu- and low in 
manganese the first additions of manganese will unite with the sulphur 
forming the comparatively inert manganese sulphide and thus softening 
the iron. If, however, the manganese be increased beyond the amount 
necessary to care for the sulphur, increased hardness will result. 

... A pig iron containing 3 per cent manganese may ha\e a 
beautiful open gray fracture and yet be so hard as to be drilled only 



Hardness 325 

vnth great difficulty. In addition, the presence of manganese sometimes 
produces a peculiar kind of gritty hardness, the iron acting as if contain- 
ing small hard grains. With regard to the amount of manganese re- 
. quired to produce hardness it will be evident that this depends largely 
on the per cent of sulphur present and also on the rate of cooling. In 
general, heavy castings will stand up to i per cent of manganese without 
noticeable increase of hardness, medium castings about 0.75 per cent 
and Hght castings 0.50 per cent. 

Sulphur is an exceedingly energetic hardening agent acting, however, 
chiefly through the carbon. That is, sulphur has a strong tendency to 

keep the carbon in combined form and in that way to harden 

Each o.oi per cent sulphur will increase the combined carbon by about 
0.045 P^r cent, other things being equal. It must be remembered, how- 
ever, that this applies only to sulphur in the form of iron sulphide, and 
that in the form of manganese sulphide, i.e., in the presence of about 
three times its weight of manganese, it acts much less energetically. 

Sulphur also has a direct action in hardening, iron sulphide and 
manganese sulphide being quite hard substances. Usually this action 
is imperceptible, but occasionally one meets with hard spots which are 
due to the segregation of these sulphides. 

Silicon is generally known as a softening agent and, within reasonable 
Umits, has this effect due to its action in decreasing the combined carbon. 
The direct effect of silicon, however, is to harden since it forms with iron 
a compound which is harder than the iron itself. 

When silicon is added to cast iron its first effect, as before stated, is 
to decrease the combined carbon. This, it does, at the rate of about 
0.45 per cent for each per cent of silicon added. Actually the rate of 
decrease is more rapid than this, and, in consequence, by the time we 
have from 2 to 3 per cent silicon present (depending on the rate of cooling) 
we have practically all the combined carbon precipitated out as graphite 
and, hence, there is no further possibility of softening in this way. Now, 
any increase in silicon only increases the amount of the hard iron-silicon 
alloy, there is no more combined carbon to be decreased, and, hence, the 
hardness will now be increased again. In other words, it is possible to 
have too much of a good thing, the good thing in this case being silicon. 

The actual percentage of silicon which is necessary to secure any 
given degree of softness will depend upon the size of the casting, the 
nature of the mold and the amount of sulphur and manganese present. 
It is, therefore, impossible to give definite silicon standards unless each 
of these factors is known. . . . 

Combined carbon (or solution carbon) is the chief hardening agent 
of cast iron, and, under ordinary conditions, the hardness of the metal 



326 Chemical Analyses 

will be cl<3scly profMjrlional to the i)erccntai,'c present. Of such relative 
unimportance are the efTects of the other elements that it has been found 
practicable to use the amount of combined carlx)n as a measure of the 
hardness of castings and as a means of predicting their liehavior in the 
machine shop. . . . 

"To machine easily, cast iron should not contain over 0.75 \ycT cent 
combined carbon, i.oo per cent combined carbon gives a pretty hard 
casting and 1.50 jjcr cent is about the upper limit for iron to be machined. 

The rate and manner of cooling of the casting are usually supposed 
to influence its hardness only as it affects the percentage of combined 
carbon. That it does affect the amount of combined carbon is a well- 
established fact. . . . However, we sometimes get hardness in the 
absence of any considerable amount of combined carbon. Hence, there 
must be some other factor at work, wiiich, in the writer's opinion, is a 
solution of carbon in 'gamma' iron, the hard constituent of tool steel. 

According to this theory, combined carbon disappears in the tem- 
perature range 2200° F. to 1500° F., while 'gamma' or hard iron is not 
transformed into the 'alpha' or soft variety until the casting has cooled 
to about 1300° F. Evidently, then, ordinary rapid cooling of castings 
from the melted state results in both high combined carbon and high 
'gamma' iron, and hence we have hardness due to both of these causes. 
The more rapid the cooling, the higher the combined carbon and the 
higher also the 'gamma' iron, therefore, since both var>' together, the 
percentage of combined carbon is a satisfactor\' measure of the hardness 
produced by both factors. 

"If, now, the conditions of cooling are changed, this need no longer 
be the case. For example, suppose we cool the casting slowly from the 
molten state down to 1600° and then quench it in water. In this case 
we would get nearly all combined carbon changed to graphite during the 
slow cooling through the upper range, while the rapid cooling through 
1300° preserves the 'gamma' iron solution and hence gives hardness due 
to this cause. 

Some of the peculiar things noted in connection with Custer's process 
of casting in permanent moulds are to be explained on this basis. Also, 
the much greater softness of castings which have been allowed to cool 
in sand and thereby anneal themselves over those shaken out soon after 
being poured. 

"Chilled iron is simply while iron, that is, iron in which graphite is 
absent and the carbon all in the combined or solution state. The same 
iron may be both gray and white, depending on rate of cooling and hence 
the exterior of the casting, if rapidly cooled, may be white while the 
interior which cools more slowly remains gray. Usually there is an 



Hardness 



327 



intermediate zone having a mottled structure formed through the inter- 
lacing and the gradual merging of the gray and white. A chilling iron, 
then, is one which when rapidly cooled contains all of its carbon in the 
•combined state. The factors which influence the depth and quaUty 
of chill are the temperature at which the iron is poured, and the amounts 
of siUcon, sulphur and phosphorus, manganese and total carbon, besides 
some of the elements which are not normally present in cast iron, but 
which are occasionally added. 

The higher the temperature at which iron is poured the deeper the 
chill, other things being equal, and it is usually considered advisable to 
pour chilled castings from hot iron. The quantitative effects of pouring 
temperature have been studied by Adamson, and while there are some 
conflicting results, it is in general indicated that in the case of the strongly 
chifling irons an increase of 50° in the pouring temperature causes an 
increase of from J-i to H inch in the depth of the chill. 

The most important element in its effects on chill is silicon, which has 
the strongest action in precipitating graphite. For chilling iron, silicon 
should be low, but how low depends on the thickness of the casting, the 
temperature of pouring and the depth of chill desired as well as on the 
percentage of other elements in the iron. Table I gives a very approx- 
imate relationship between the percentage of silicon and depth of chill, 
other elements being about normal.

Sulphur tends to increase the combined carbon, and, hence, the chill. 
So marked is its influence in this respect that it is sometimes added 
to cast iron to increase the depth of the chill. This, however, is not 
usually good practice since the chill imparted by sulphur is lacking in 
toughness and strength as well as in resistance to heat strains. Scott 
cites the case of stamp shoes for mining machinery where sulphur was 
used to increase the chill. The shoes were very hard at first, but soon 
went to pieces under the repeated blows. Johnson, also, has noted the 
great difference between high and low sulphur chilled iron as regards 



328 Chemical Analyses 

ubilily lu withstand the strains of sud<lcn cmilinj? without cracking. On 
the other iiand, West states that the chill produced by sulphur is very 
persistent to frictional wear, and, hence, it may be inferred that sulphur 
adds t(> the life of castings which are subject to abrasion. It has been 
stated that the presence of a small amount of sulphur is essential in order 
to get the best results in chilled rolls. This, however, is doubtful and 
it is believed that it is only rarely that sulphur is desirable in chilled 
castings. The presence of a moderate amount of manganese in cast 
iron greatly lessens the bad effects of sulphur in chilled as well aii in gray 
iron castings. 

"Phosphorus in the amounts ordinarily present in commercial cast 
iron has but slight influence on the depth of the chill but does have a 
more or less injurious effect on its strength. It is generally stated that 
high phosphorus has the effect of causing a sharp line of demarkation 
between the gray and chilled portions of the casting. . . . It is beheved 
that it is best to limit the phosphorus in chilled iron to about 0.4 per cent. 

Manganese, since it tends to increase the combined carbon, also tends 
to increase the chill. However, it must be remembered that the first 
effect of manganese is to neutralize sulphur, and, therefore, in small 
amounts it may indirectly decrease the chill. Manganese very greatly 
increases the hardness of the chill, and, to a less extent, its strength. It 
also increases the resistance of the chill to heat strain and hence di- 
minishes the danger of surface cracks in such castings as chilled rolls and 
car wheels. Still another effect is the promotion of a more gradual 
merging of the gray and chilled portions of the castings. Manganese 
is usually considered a desirable constituent of chilled iron and the 
amounts used var>^ all the way from 0.40 up to 3.0 per cent. . . . 

Of late years, semi-steel mi.xtures have been used to some extent for 
chilled castings, the total carbon being considerably lower than in the 
ordinary mixture. The effect of low total carbon is to give a deep and 
comparatively soft chill as compared with the shallow, hard chill obtained 
with high total carbon. 

"It has been proposed to use nickel as a means of controlUng chill, 
this clement having an effect somewhat similar to silicon. Hence, by 
starting with a strong chilling iron and adding nickel, the depth of the 
chill would be lessened in some ratio to the amount of nickel added. 
Since the same results may be oljlained by the use of less expensive 
silicon it is difficult to see any advantage in adding nickel. 

The quality of chilled iron may be very greatly improved by the 
addition of small amounts of titanium or vanadium. The beneficial 
effects of these elements are probably due chiefly to their deo.vidizing 
power. . . . 



Shrinkage 329 

Grain Structxire 

"The fracture or grain size and the porosity are closely related and 
are both dependent primarily on the size of the graphite particles, and, 
to a less extent, on the percentage of graphite.. . . . 

Silicon should be kept just as low as possible and still have the cast- 
ings soft enough to machine. The exact percentage will depend on 
the thickness of the casting, the character of the mould and whether 
the casting is allowed to anneal itself or is quickly shaken out after 
pouring. It may range from 0.75 per cent for very heavy work up to 
2.0 per cent for small valves, etc. It is believed that the majority of 
founders use more silicon than is best in work of this character." 

Combined carbon has a powerful action in closing the grain and giving 
a dense iron and should be just as high as possible and still have the 
iron machinable. . . . 

Manganese had best be kept moderately high since it appears to have 
some beneficial effect in closing the grain. 

Sulphur is a powerful agent in closing the grain and is frequently 
made purposely high for this end. It is, however, a dangerous agent 
since it may cause trouble in other directions, and as a general proposi- 
tion it is better to keep the sulphur low and get necessary density by a 
proper regulation of silicon and manganese. 

Finally, one of the best, if not the best, means of closing the grain 
of cast iron and securing the maximmn density is by means of steel scrap 
in the mixture. This is now common practice with makers of hydraulic 
castings, and is very effective. . . . 

Shrinkage 

In considering the shrinkage of cast iron it is necessary to distinguish 
between the contraction of the fluid mass previous to and during the act 
of sohdifjang and the contraction of the solid mass. The first is that 
form of shrinkage which necessitates feeding in heavy castings, and which 
so often results in shrink holes or spongy places in hea\'y sections of 
castings which are not fed. West calls this contraction of the fluid mass 
' shrinkage. ' 

"The contraction of the solid mass represents more nearly what is 
generally called shrinkage, this term as ordinarily used meaning the 
difference in size between the casting and its pattern. This contraction 
of the solid mass West calls 'contraction.' 

"... It seems necessary to make some distinction between the 
total amount of fluid contraction and the tendency to form shrink holes 
in the heavy sections of small castings. At least there seems to be no

very (Icfinilc relation liclwccn clicmiial lomiMKiilion and this latter 
projKJrty and it is often the case that an iron low in graphite and, there- 
fore, having a high fluid contraction, will give sounder castings than 
another iron high in graphite and which would, therefore, require less 
fecfling in a large casting: ..." 

"Cook has found that two irons (A practically identii^l chemical 
composition may give very dilTcrent results as regards sjjundncss when 
poured into small castings of heavy section and the writer can confirm 
this fact from his own experience. A convenient test has been developed 
by Cook to show the tendency of any particular brand of iron to trouble 
of this sort. This test consists in making a casting in the shape of a K, 
the branches having a cross section of one inch square. On breaking 
off the oblique branches any tendency to sponginess or shrink holes will 
at once be evident in the fracture." 

"As before stated there has thus far been discovered no important 
relationship between this property and chemical composition. It rather 
appears to be something inherent in the brand of iron. . . . It is a 
curious fact that, in some instances at least, the addition of a small 
amoimt of steel scrap to the mixture will act as a partial corrective." 

"The contraction of the solid mass does not take place uniformly as 
the casting cools but in stages which are separated by periods of less 
contraction or even of actual expansion. The total shrinkage which 
perhaps includes also a portion of the shrinkage in the fluid mass is 
conveniently obtained by Keep's test or by casting a test bar between 
iron yokes and determining the space between the end of the bar and the 
yoke after cooling." 

"This, however, tells nothing as to the manner of shrinkage or the 
temperature at which it takes place. To get this latter information we 
must determine the shrinkage curve, or in other words, the length of the 
test bar at each instant of time during cooling, starting from the instant 
when the bar has solidified just enough to have some slight strength. 
West, Keep and Turner have described forms of apparatus for making 
these curves. Fig. 91 shows some t>T)ical shrinkage curs-cs and illus- 
trates the relationship between chemical composition and the form of 
these curves." 

"It will be noted that there are three periods of expansion separated 
by intervals during which the shrinkage takes place. The first of these 
periods of expansion is due to the separation of graphite and hence is 
greatest in the softest irons. Note that in the case .1 , which is a white 
iron and contains no graphite, this expansion is entirely lacking. This 
expansion takes place within the temperature range 2200° to 1800° F., 
or immediately after the iron has solidified." 



Shrinkage 



331 



"The second expansion is due to the solidification of the phosphide 
eutectic with a consequent secondary precipitation of graphite at that 
time. Evidently, this expansion is only to be expected in high phos- 
phorus irons and it will be noted that it is lacking in C, which is low in 
phosphorus, and is well marked in D, which is high in phosphorus. This 
expansion takes place within the temperature range 1800° to 1500° F." 

"The third expansion is, in the writer's opinion, due to the change of 
the iron from the 'alpha' to the 'gamma' form, since it takes place

within the temperature range 1400° to 1200° F., or about where this 
change would be expected to take place. Note that this expansion is 
greatest in high silicon irons C and D, silicon having the effect of acceler- 
ating the 'gamma' to 'alpha' change. The point at which this third 
expansion occurs probably marks the lower limit below which iron cannot 
be hardened by quenching."

and it is believed that when we understand them better they may

Manganese. . , . Increases by about . 01 inch per foot for each . 20

"To get the minimum shrinkage an iron should be high in silicon, 
from 2 to 3 per cent depending on the thickness, high in phosphorus, say. 
0.75 to 1.25 per cent, as low as possible in sulphur, as high as possible in 
total carbon and with only enough manganese to care for the sulphur, 
or, say, 0.3 to 0.4 per cent. This will insure high graphite and hence low 
shrinkage in the casting. The iron will, however, be rather weak and 
it is something of a problem to get in one and the same iron considerable 
strength and at the same time very low shrinkage." 

" By the term ' stretch ' West describes the power of cast iron to stretch 
when placed imder strain during the cooling process. This property is 
undoubtedly of much importance in cast iron since there are many 
castings which are called upon to exhibit it. An extreme case which 
is commonly cited is that of pulleys, the arms of which are placed in 
tension due to the quicker cooling of the rim and which must, therefore, 
either stretch or crack. There is no data regarding the effect of various 
metalloids of cast iron on its power of stretching but in general a soft iron 
will stretch more than a hard one. Almost the only data on this subject 
is given by West. He finds that the period of greatest stretching of 
cast iron is within the temperature range i6cx>° to 1200° F. 

Fusibility 

Fusibility, or the melting point of cast iron, must not be confounded 
with its fluidity, or ease of flow when molten. Fluidity is much the more 
important of these two properties, but fusibility is of some interest, 
particularly as it gives us a means of deciding intelligently in what order 
to charge metals in the cupola. 

The investigations of Dr. Moldenke have shown that the fusibility of 
cast iron depends primarily on its combined carbon content, and, to a 
less extent, on the amount of phosphorus present. . . . We find that 
cast iron has a melting range wiPiTng from 2000° F. for a white iron up 
to 2300° F. for gray iron containing practically no combined carbon, this 



Fusibility

difference being due probably to the presence of silicon, sulphur, phos- 
phorus and manganese. 

Since the graphite in gray iron is only in mechanical mixture with the 
iron we should, perhaps, expect it to have no effect on the melting point. 
Moreover, it combines with the iron at temperatures below the melting 
point thus increasing the combined carbon and lowering the melting 
point. For this reason gray iron melts at a lower temperature than steel 
having the same percentage of combined carbon.

Percent Combined Carbon. 

Fig. 92. 



As previously noted, phosphorus also has the effect of lowering the 
melting point of cast iron but it is not nearly as powerful in its action as 
combined carbon. Iron containing 6.7 per cent phosphorus would melt 
at only 1740° F., but with less phosphorus than this the melting point 
rises rapidly so that the i or 2 per cent present in commercial high phos- 
phorus irons makes very little difference in the melting point. 

Fig. 92 gives in graphic form the data of Dr. Moldenke from which 
is drawn a line representing the approximate melting point of cast iron 
of any per cent combined carbon.

point."

Fluidity 

"Fluidity may be defined as ease of flow. It is sjTionymoiis with 
mobility and opposed to viscosity. It is a property of far-reaching 
importance to the foundr>'man and especially to the manufacturer of 
small and intricate castings. Unfortunately, our means of measuring 
fluidity arc not very satisfactory', and this makes it dillicult to determine 
quantitatively the eflect of composition upon this property. .Xbout 
the most satisfactory method is to pour fluidity strips or long strips of 
perhaps one square inch section (at one end) and tapering to nothing at 
the other. The distance which the iron runs in a mold of this form is a 
rough measure of its fluidity." 

"The factors which govern fluidity are percentage of silicon, percent- 
age of phosphorus, freedom from dissolved oxide and temperature above 
the melting point." 

"Silicon perhaps aids fluidity by causing a separation of graphite at 
the moment of solidification, thus, according to Field, liberating latent 



Resistance to Heat 335 

heat and prolonging the Hfe of the metal. On this basis, high total 
carbon would also aid fluidity by increasing the amount of graphite 
separated." 

"Phosphorus is probably the most important element as regards 
fluidity, high phosphorus causing a marked increase in this property. 
The best results are obtained with about 1.5 per cent phosphorus, 
although for other reasons it is seldom desirable to use as much as that." 

"Freedom from oxide is a very important point as its presence makes 
the metal sluggish and causes it to set quickly. It is a frequent and often 
unsuspected source of trouble. Dissolved oxide may be eliminated by 
any of the methods described." 

"The temperature above the freezing point is probably the most 
important factor of all in connection with fluidity, and it should here be 
noted that a distinction is made between freezing point and melting 
point. The two may coincide in the case of white iron, but will not 
usually, especially with gray iron. This is because, as we have already 
seen, gray irons have a melting temperature corresponding to their per- 
centage of combined carbon rather than total carbon. After they are 
in the molten state, however, all the carbon is in solution (combined as 
far as melting points are concerned), hence, the freezing point will corre- 
spond more nearly to the melting point of a white iron having the per- 
centage of combined carbon equal to the total carbon of the original gray 
iron. This wiU be in general from 100° to 300° lower than its melting 
point. For this reason when gray irons are melted they are always 
considerably superheated above their sohdifying points, and the greater 
this superheat, the more fluid the iron. Evidently, the superheat due 
to this cause will be the greater the lower the combined carbon in the 
iron going into the cupola." 

Practical rules for getting fluid iron are as follows: 

"Keep the phosphorus high, — up to i.oo to 1.25 if possible." 

"If the work will permit, use a soft iron of 2 per cent or over in silicon, 
and low in combined carbon." 

"Avoid oxidizing conditions in melting and, if necessary, use deoxidiz- 
ing agents." 

"Use plenty of coke and good cupola practice." 

Resistance to Heat 

"Ability to withstand high temperatures is of paramount importance 
in several classes of castings such as grate bars, ingot moulds, annealing 
boxes, etc., and the factors which affect this ability are, the percentage 
of phosphorus, sulphur and combined carbon, and the density or close- 
ness of grain." 



336 Chemical Analyses 

"Phosphorus forms with iron an alloy which melts at only 1740° F.,or 
about 400° lower than cast iron free from phosphorus, and each per cent 
of phosphorus present gives rise to 15 per cent of this easily fusible con- 
stituent. Now, it will be evident that the [iresence of a molten con- 
stituent in a piece of iron must greatly weaken it, and hence it is that the 
presence of much phosi)horus decreases the resistance of cast iron to 
heat." 

"Sulphur acts in a similar manner to phosphorus since it also form.s 
with iron a constituent of low melting point (1780° F.). It is, therefore, 
detrimental to castings which have to stand high temperatures." 

"As prexnously noted, combined carbon is the element which more than 
any other determines the melting point of cast iron, this melting point 
becoming lower with increase in this element. It would seem then, that 
combined carbon must be very detrimental in this class of castings. 
However, it should be remembered that the condition of the carbon in 
the solid iron changes readily at high temperatures, and, hence, after the 
casting has been in use for a while its combined carbon content will not 
in general be the same as when cast. This fact makes the question of 
combined carbon of much less practical importance than either phos- 
phorus or sulphur." 

"Density or close grain is commonly stated to render cast iron con- 
siderably more resistant to the effects of heat. ..." 

"One feature of the effect of heat on cast iron which deserves especial 
mention is the permanent expansion which it undergoes on repeated 
heatings. This peculiar behavior was first discovered by Outerbridge 
and has since been also investigated by Rugan and Carpenter." 

"The extent to which this growth may take place is certainly sur- 
prising, the increase being in some cases as high as 46 per cent by volume 
and i?4 inches in the length of a 15-inch bar. The strength of the metal 
is decreased proportionately to the expansion or to about one-half of the 
original strength. Both the e.xpansion and the decrease in strength are 
explained by microscopic examination, which shows minute cracks 
throughout the interior of the metal. ..." 

"Two conditions are necessary for this growth. First, repeated 
heatings, and second, a proper composition of the metal." 

"With regard to the heating, a minimum temperature of 1200" F. is 
necessary. At 1400° to i6oo° the rate of growth is more rapid and an 
increase in temperature beyond 1700° produces no additional effect. 
Both heating and cooling are necessary to procure the growth, and the 
time of heating makes very little difference. No greater growth was 
produced by 17 hours continuous healing than by 4 hours. The num- 
ber of heatings required to produce the maximum amount of growth 



Resistance to Heat 337 

varies with different irons, but usually lies somewhere between 50 and 
100." 

"Regarding the effects of composition, it appears that the growth is 
favored bj- the presence of graphite and silicon, and also by a large grain 
or open structure. \Yhite iron containing no graphite expands slightly 
when subjected to this treatment but not sufficiently to overcome its 
original shrinkage. In this case the expansion is due to the conversion 
of the combined carbon into the temper form, or in other words, to the 
malleableizing of the casting. Soft irons low in combined carbon and 
high in silicon show the greatest increase in volume. The effects of 
sulphur, manganese and phosphorus have not been investigated. Steel 
and wrought iron are not subject to this growth, but on the contrary 
undergo a slight permanent contraction when repeatedly heated." 

"It is evident that this property of cast iron is of great importance in 
many of the applications of the metal and limits its use for many pur- 
poses. It is, no doubt, the reason why a close-grained iron gives better 
results when exposed to high temperatures and affords an explanation 
for the warping of grate bars, annealing boxes and similar castings. It 
also shows why chills and permanent molds must not be allowed to be 
heated to redness, such a degree of heat resulting in permanent expansion 
and the loss of their original dimensions." 

The following is a summary of some of the published statements 
regarding the proper composition for castings exposed to high tempera- 
tvires: 

"Cast iron to withstand high temperatiures should be low in phos- 
phorus and combined carbon." 

"In car wheels manganese increases the resistance to heat strain." 

"For refractory castings choose a fine grained cast iron, best contain- 
ing about 2 per cent manganese to retard the separation of amorphous 
carbon." 

"Castings to resist heat should contain about 1.80 per cent silicon, 
0.03 per cent sulphur, 0.70 per cent phosphorus, 0.60 per cent manganese 
and 2.90 per cent total carbon. Low sulphur is of chief importance, low 
silicon, carbon and manganese are also advisable." 

"Close-grained cast iron having the greatest density will invariably 
be found best to withstand chemical influences and high temperatures." 

"A chill which had given excellent service had the following composi- 
tion: silicon, 2.07 per cent; sulphur, 0.073 P^r cent; phosphorus, 0.03 
per cent; manganese, 0.48 per cent; combined carbon, 0.23 per cent; 
graphite carbon, 2.41 per cent; total carbon, 2.64 per cent. 

"Two permanent mo vilds which had given excellent service analyzed

Little is known regarding the relation between chemical composition 
and conductivity of cast iron. In the case of steel it has been found that 
manganese is the element most injurious to this property with carbon 
a close second. Hence, by analogy, we may infer that to make iron 
castings of high conductiNTty we should keep both the manganese and 
combined carbon as low as possible. 



Electrical Properties 



339 



Permeability may be defined as magnetic conductivity and is of 
importance in many castings used in the construction of electrical 
machinery. Permeability data are generally given in the form of a 
curve expressing the relation between the magnetizing force H and the 
resulting field strength or number of lines of magnetic force per unit 
area B. This is known as the permeability curve. The permeabihty 

is the ratio — and it will be noted that it is different for each value of the 

D 

magnetizing force, H, but approaches a constant or saturation value for 
high values of H. See Fig. 93.

The effects of the various elements on permeability are not yet entirely 
clear although there are some published data along this line. The writer 
has recently done considerable work on the relation between permeabihty 
and chemical composition of cast iron, and the results, as yet vmpublished, 
are surmnarized in Fig. 94. It will be noted that the effects of silicon, 
phosphorus and aluminum are not well marked and are probably not of 



340 Chemical Analyses 

any very great importance. On the other hand, manganese has a very 
(Iclrinicntal ciTicl on lliis prupirly. 

Sihcon has the oppobitu ellccl from manganese in that it accelerates 
this change in the form of the iron, and we would, therefore, expect 
it to have a more or less beneficial influence. Silicon steel has 
achieved a wide rc|jutation as a high permeability material for use in 
the construction of tran former cores, etc. .\ccording to tlic author's 
results high silicon is particularly effective in increasing B for low values 
of//. 

An important clement nf)t considered in the diagram. Fig. 94, is 
carbon. l"or high permeability the lower the carbon the better, and 
excellent results are now being obtained through the use of semi-steel for 
electrical castings. In this connection, however, it must be remembered 
that manganese is undesirable and hence must be used cautiously as a 
deoxidizer in this class of work. 

Some practical rules for obtaining high permeability iron are given 
herewith. 

Keep the silicon high, best in the neighborhood of 3 per cent. 

Keep the manganese low, preferably below 0.5 per cent. 

If practicable keep the carbon low by the use of steel scrap or air 
furnace iron. 

Allow the castings to anneal themselves, i.e., cool completely in the 
sand before shaking out. 

Hysteresis, like conductivity, is seldom or never of importance in cast 
iron. The property may be defined as the loss of energy due to molecular 
friction when magnetic polarity is reversed. The effect of composition 
upon hysteresis is in general about the same as in the case of permeability. 

Resistance to Corrosion 

Although there are a great many corrosive agencies it is not practicable, 
because of lack of information, to treat of each separately, and so far as 
we know the effects of composition would be relatively the same for the 
various corroding agents. 

The following is a summarj' of most of the published information 
along this line: 

Pig iron which best resists acids contains silicon, i.o per cent; phos- 
phorus, 0.5 per cent; sulphur, 0.05 per cent; carbon, 3.0 per cent. 

Excellent results wnth respect to resistance to corrosion by acids were 
obtained through the use of a mixture of three brands of pig iron A, B 
and C in the proportion, two parts of .1, one part B and one part C. 
The analysis of the pig irons is thus given :

and in addition, the metal should be as free as possible from oxide. 

Cast iron to withstand the corrosive action of molten chemicals 
should be close grained and dense. The iron having the greatest den- 
sity will invariably be found to best withstand chemical influences and 
high temperatures. The addition of deoxidizing agents is of great 
benefit. 

Gray iron is attacked by acids about three times as fast as white iron. 
In cases where it is not practicable to use white iron castings it is some- 
times possible to cast against chills in such a manner as to form a white 
iron surface to resist corrosion and still leave the body of the casting 
gray. 

In a series of tests on the acid-resisting properties of some well-known 
Enghsh brands of iron, the No. i iron, presumably high in silicon, and 
the "hematite," low in phosphorus and probably high in silicon, gave the 
best results. 

Ferrosilicons with high percentages of silicon, 20 per cent and over, are 
remarkably resistant to the effects of acids and are being made into 
vessels for use in the chemical industries. 

Sulphur has been found to be a source of corrosion in steel in some 
instances, causing pitting at points where manganese sulphide has 
segregated. 

It has been shown that the presence of small amounts of copper in 
steel and puddled iron diminish their tendency to rust. 

Some practical rules for obtaining castings resistant to corrosion are 
as follows: 

Use white iron if practicable. 



342 Chemicul Analyses 

If not practicable to use white iron oistinK, chill those surfaces which 
are to be in contact with the c (/rrosive substances. 

If gray iron must be used get dense, close-grained castings through 
the use of steel scrap or otherwise. 

Avoid oxidized metal, use good cupola prai lice and good pig irons. 

If possible use deoxidizing agents. 

Keep the sulphur just as low as jwssiblc. 

Resistance to Wear 

We must first make some distinction between two cases of wear 
typified by a grinding roll and a brake shoe. The first case may be 
dismissed by the simple statement that the greater the hardness the 
better the wear, providing at the same time that the iron is sufliciently 
strong. 

In the second case, however, it is necessary that the casting should not 
be so hard as to unduly wear the material with which it comes in contact. 
For example, the brake shoe must be softer than the tread of the car 
wheel. There is no theory to guide us in the matter and the rules given 
are the results of experiment chiefly with brake shoes. 

Too much silicon gives an open, soft iron which does not wear well. 
The best results are obtained with silicon about ils per cent in castings 
of medium thickness. 

Sulphur is claimed by many to be advantageous in castings for fric- 
tional wear because it closes the grain and hardens somewhat. Diller 
records a pecuUar occurrence of a hard spot which could not be machined, 
a smooth surface being formed which wore the drill although it could be 
dented with a center punch, .\nalysis showed 0.20 per cent sulphur and 
0.50 per cent combined carbon. 

Phosphorus is best kept moderately low. Most specifications call for 
0.75 per cent or under. It is injurious probably because it weakens the 
iron at the high temperature sometimes produced by friction. - 

Manganese is best kept moderately high to take care of the sulphur. 
Most brake shoe specifications call for under 0.70 per cent. 

The addition of steel scrap to the mixture has been found to give 
excellent results for this class of work, probably owing to the reduction 
in the total carbon and to its action in closing the grain. 

CoeflEicient of Friction 

There are no data as to the relation between the composition of cast 
iron and its coeflicient of friction. Since graphite is an excellent lubri- 
cant it is probable that the percentage of graphite is the controlling 
factor here, the friction decreasing with increase in this element. From 



Casting Properties 343 

theoretical considerations we should expect the best results to be obtained 
\vith a very soft iron low in sulphur, manganese and combined carbon 
and high in graphite. 

Casting Properties 

The properties which remain to be considered pertain more par- 
ticularly to the casting as a whole and are chiefly influenced by the design, 
moulding and pouring of the casting, and to a very much less extent, by 
the composition of the metal. 

Unsoundness due to the presence of blow-holes and shrinkage cavities, 
while usually resulting from bad practice in moulding may also be caused 
by poor quality of metal. Blowholes may be caused by oxidized metal 
or by excessive sulphur. . . . When caused by sulphur the remedy is 
to decrease this element. Raising the manganese is often effective in 
preventing blowholes since it acts both as a deoxidizer and desulphiurizer. 
Scott states that manganese below 0.25 per cent often results in blow- 
holes. High phosphorus sometimes acts as a corrective of blowholes due 
to its prolonging the fluidity, thus giving the iron more chance to release 
the dissolved gases. 

Dirty castings are also caused chiefly by poor moulding, pouring or 
cupola practice. Occasionally, however, it may result from wrong 
composition of the metal, and the points chiefly to be watched are to keep 
the sulphur low; to avoid kish or segregated graphite and to avoid 
oxidized metal. 

Sulphur tends to cause dirty castings because it makes the iron congeal 
more quickly, and hence any dirt present has less chance to separate. 
In addition, the sulphides of iron and manganese themselves form dirt 
spots when segregated. Kish is usually caused by too much silicon, or 
sometimes by too much total carbon. Oxidized metal is a prolific source 
of dirty castings, but the oxidization is usually due to bad cupola practice, 
or to the use of oxidized scrap. IModerately high manganese and phos- 
phorus are conducive to clean castings, the first because it takes care of 
sulphur and oxidation, and the second because it increases the fluidity of 
the metal and thus gives the dirt a better chance to float out. 

Porosity is usually caused by the presence of kish (see preceding 
paragraph). Pinholes, another form of porosity, are usually due to 
excessive sulphur in the form of iron sulphide. This compound retains 
gases in solution until the metal is partially frozen and then releases 
them in the form of tiny bubbles which give rise to this defect. Decrease 
in sulphur or increase in manganese or both is the remedy. 

Segregation proper is caused by the difference in melting point and 
specific gravity of the several constituents of cast iron. The constit- 



344 Chemical Analyses 

ucnls of lowest melting point arc the phosphorus ami sulphur compounds, 
and it is, therefore, in these cases that we find the greatest tendency 
towards segregation. It is not unusual to find hard s[xjts in heavy 
castings high in phos|)h<)rus which are caused Ijy the phosphide lx:ing 
squeezed out into blow-hulcs formed during solidification. Frequently 
the phosphide does not completely fill the cavity, or fills it as a loose 
globule. The sulphides, owing to their low specific gravity, usually 
segregate in the top of the casting and it is not infrequent to find sev- 
eral times the normal amount of sulphur in the upper part of heavy 
castings. Manganese sulphide segregates more readily than iron sul- 
phide. 

Besides segregation proper we sometimes find cases of non-homo- 
gencily due to other causes. Occasionally spots of white iron are found 
in the interior of castings. It has always been diflicult to account for 
these but the clew is given by the fact that they are invariably found in 
castings poured from the first metal tapped. 

Undoubtedly they are caused by the iron boiling on the sand bed and 
are connected in some way with the partial Bessemerizing of the metal. 
Again, hard spots in castings are sometimes due to small pieces of metal 
(for example, small steel scrap and shot iron) being incompletely melted 
in their passage through the cupola. Ferromanganese and other ferro- 
alloys may give rise to this same trouble through incomplete solution 
when stirred into the ladle. 

Shrinkage strains are caused primarily by ^vTongly designed castings, 
but the trouble may be aggravated by the composition of the metal. 
High sulphur is a particularly prolific source of internal stresses, and, 
in general, the greater the total shrinkage, the greater the strains due to 
this cause. 

As all foundr>'men know, the fineness of finish and smoothness of skin 
of a casting depend chiefly on the sands and facings used and the skill 
of the moulder. High phosphorus in the iron, however, is a consider- 
able aid in getting the fine skin desired in ornamental work, .\nother 
element affecting the skin is manganese which has the rather peculiar 
action of causing the sand to peel from the castings with extreme readi- 
ness. With I per cent manganese this tendency is CNident and with 
2 per cent it is verj' marked. 

Bars, plates and hollow castings were treated, which were permitted 
to cool in the moulds. The plates cooled more slowly than the bar 
samples and the material proved somcv.'hat softer, givnng smaller values 
for the bending, tensile and compressive strength, but was better as 
regards flexiu-e and strength to resist impact. 

Tests reported to the Iron and Steel Institute showed: 



Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron 345 

The best tensile and transverse tests are obtained from bars which 
have been machined. 

Transverse test bars cast on edge and tested with the "fin" in com- 
pression give the best results. 

The transverse test is not so reliable or helpful as that of the moment 
of resistance. 

Cast iron gives the best results when poured as hot as possible. 

As in some measure explanatory of the conflicting results obtained in 
testing bars of precisely the same chemical combination, and as showing 
the importance of microscopical examinations of the structure of cast 
iron in pointing out the causes of difference in its physical properties, the 
paper of Mr. Percy Longmuir published in the Journal of the American 
Foundrymen's Association, June, 1903 is given in full.

Instances are occasionally found where metal of the right chemical 
composition goes wrong in practice. It is in cases of this kind that the 
real value of microscopical examination is most evident, for very often 
such an examination will locate the trouble and at the same time suggest 
a remedy. Naturally an examination of diseased samples can only be 
undertaken after a thorough study of healthy ones, hence a foundation 
for the study of abnormal samples must necessarily be based on the, 
knowledge gained from a wide series of normal ones, that is, samples of 
knowTi chemical composition and known physical conditions. 

The structure of cast iron is very complex — far more so than that of 
steel — a fact readily shown by the high content of elements present 
other than iron. By polishing and etching a sample of cast iron, several 
of the compounds of the elements with iron are, under suitable magni- 
fication, rendered visible. The structural features, such as the arrange- 
ment and distribution of the various compounds and their relationship 
to each other, can then be readily noted and the effect of this combination 
on the mass then becomes an estimable quantity. 

If the metal under examination contain no impurities it is evident that 
its mass will be built up of pure crystals. A section cut from such a pvure 
metal will, after polishing and etching, show only the crystal junctions. 
Crystal junctions of this type are shown in Fig. 95 , which represents the 
structure of almost pure iron. Even here, although the metal is so pure, 
the very minute trace of carbon present can be readily detected in the 
dark knots of which about a dozen are to be seen. As foreign elements 



346 



Chemical Analyses 



arc added to pure iron the structure becomes more complex and a point 
is reached when all the pure crystals are rejilaced by more complex ones. 
It is to be remembered that all Kt^ay irons contain appreciable amounts 
of two varieties of carbon, silicon, manKancse, sulphur and phosphonis.

Of these elements graphite is present m its elementary form, that is, as 
free carbon. The remaining constituents are present in compound form 
associated either with iron or with other elements. Thus sulphur may 
occur as sulphide of manganese or as iron sulphide. Carbon occurring

in the combined form is present as a definite carbide of iron; or under 
certain conditions as a double carbide of iron and manganese. Phos- 
phorus is associated with iron as a definite phosphide. These compounds 
are all distinguisliable under suitable magnification, but the association 
of silicon and iron is, so far as present knowledge goes, unrecognizable. 



Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron

Microscopically these constituents have received other names — for 
instance pmre iron is known as "ferrite," hence a structure similar to 
that of Fig. 96 consists almost entirely of ferrite. Combined carbon 
.receives the term "cementite" and a mixture of cementite and ferrite 





Fig. 97. — Magnified 460 diameters. Fig. 98. — Magnified 360 diameters. 

is known as "pearlite." Pearlite often consists of alternate striae of 
cementite and ferrite and in such a form gives a magnificent play of 
colors resembling those of mother-of-pearl , consequently this constituent 
was named by its discoverer, Dr. Sorby, the "pearly constituent," a term 
now contracted to "pearlite."

The classical researches of Professor Arnold have conclusively shown 
that iron containing 0.89 per cent carbon consists entirely of pearlite. 
As the content of carbon increases above 0.89 per cent, structurally free 
cementite appears increasing in quantity with each increment of carbon. 
It therefore follows that a white cast iron will consist essentially of 



34^ Chemical Analyst's 

rcmunlitc and pcarlilc. in llie miijorily of gray irons used in the found- 
ries the a)ml)incd carbon is well below 0.89 per cent — cementite is, 
therefore, only present as a constituent of pcarlitc. 

Suli^hide kIoIjuIcs when in the form of manganese sulphide show a light 
gray color, while iron sulphide shows a hght brown tint. 

In high sulphur irons the sulphide lends to envelop the crystals; a 
section cut fmm sucii an iron would show a network of sulphide following 
the crystal junctions and destroying their continuity. These sulphides 
have been thoroughl>' in\x'stigatcd by Professor Arnold whose researches 
have thrown much light on the behaviour of both iron and manganese 
sulphide. 

The relations ol iron and phosphorus have been very thoroughly 
studied by Mr. J. E. Stead. In September, 1900, Mr. Stead presented

before the Iron and Steel Institute a most exhaustive research on this 
subject. With ordinarj' pig irons the phosphide of iron appears to be 
rejected to a eutectic of uncertain composition. Eutectic may for our 
purpose be defined as that portion last to soUdify. This phosphide 
eutectic may be readily distinguished in all gray irons by an ordinary 
etching medium, but in while irons containing structurally free cementite, 
Mr. Stead's "heat tinting" process becomes necessary to distinguish the 
eutectic from the cementite. 

Fig. 96 reproduces a photo-microscope of an unetched section of gray 
iron at a magnification of 60 diameters. 

This magnification gives, as it were, a general view only — to get at the 
ultimate structure higher powers must be used. Fig. 97 represents the 
structure of an ordinary gray iron magnified 460 diameters. The larger 



Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron

portion of this field consists of pearlite embedded in which are irregular 
areas of the phosphide eutectic and several notable black plates of 
graphite. The, phosphide eutectic is recognizable by its irregular shape 
and broken up structure; an area in the center of the photograph enclos- 
ing an area of pearlite is worthy of notice. 

Fig. 98 reproduces an area of phosphide eutectic from the same section 
as Fig. 96. 

A tj^ical .white cast iron consisting essentially of pearlite and cementite 
is shown in Fig. 99. This is a type of iron used as a base for the production 
of malleable cast iron. 

The influences of annealing are shown in Fig. 100, which represents the 
same iron as Fig. 99, after going through the ordinary malleable iron

annealing in ore. This section consists essentially of pearlite and 
graphite — the analyses appended to each figure showing the change in 
carbon condition. For the loan of the negatives illustrating Figs. 99 
and 100, the writer is indebted to the courtesy of Mr. T. Baker, B. Sc. 
Quite apart from the clear light thrown on what has been aptly termed 
the internal architecture of a metal, microscopical examination reveals 
many other features of profitable interest, one notable feature being the 
examination of minute flaws. Space will not permit of many illustra- 
tions under this head, but Fig. loi, reproduced from a photo-micrograph 
of a pin-hole in the same section as Fig. 96, will show the range of possi- 
bility in this direction. Obviously, a study of flaws of this character 
offers much to the founder producing castings which have to meet a 
hydraulic or high steam pressure test.

Material and Chill 351 

Marking 

4. Each wheel must have plainly cast on the outside plate the name 
of the maker and place of manufacture. Each wheel must also have 
cast on the inside double plate the date of casting and a serial foimdry 
nimiber. The manufacturer must also provide for the guarantee mark, 
if so required by the contract. No wheel bearing a duplicate number, or 
a number which has once been passed upon, will be considered. Num- 
bers of wheels once rejected will remain uniilled. No wheel bearing an 
indistinct number or date, or any evidence of an altered or defaced 
number will be considered. 

Measures 

5. All wheels offered for inspection must have been measured with a 
standard tape measure and must have the shrinkage number stenciled 
in plain figures on the inside of the wheel. The standard tape measure 
must correspond in form and construction to the "Wheel Circumference 
Measure" established by the Master Car Builders' Association in 1900. 
The nomenclature of that measure need not, however, be followed, it 
being sufficient if the graduating marks indicating tape sizes are one- 
eighth of an inch apart. Any convenient method of showing the shrink- 
age or stencil number may be employed. Experience shows that 
standard tape measures elongate a little with use, and it is essential to 
have them frequently compared and rectified. When ready for inspec- 
tion, the wheels must be arranged in rows according to shrinkage numbers, 
all wheels of the same date being grouped together. Wheels bearing 
dates more than thirty days prior to the date of inspection will not be 
accepted for test, except by permission. For any single inspection and 
test, only wheels having three consecutive shrinkage or stencil numbers 
will be considered. The manufacturer will, of course, decide what three 
shrinkage or stencil numbers he will submit in any given lot of 103 wheels 
offered, and the same three shrinkage or stencil numbers need not be 
offered each time. 

Finish 

6. The body of the wheels must be smooth and free from slag and 
blowholes, and the hubs must be solid. Wheels will not be rejected 
because of drawing around the center core. The tread and throat of the 
wheels must be smooth, free from deep and irregular wrinkles, slag, sand 
wash, chill cracks or swollen rims, and be free from any evidence of hollow 
rims, and the throat and tread must be practically free from sweat. 

Material and Chill 

7. Wheels tested must show soft, clean, gray iron, free from defects, 
such as holes containing slag or dirt more than one-quarter of an inch in 



352 Slundard Specifications for Cast Iron Car \\ beds 

di;imclcr, or clusters of such holes, honeycombing of iron in the hub, 
while iron in the |)lales or hub, or clear white iron around the anchors of 
chaplcls at a greater distance than one-half of an inch in any direction. 
The dc|)th of the clear white iron must not exceed seven-eighths of an 
indi at the throat an<l one inch at the middle of the tread, nor must it be 
less than three-eighths of an inch at the throat or any part of the tread. 
The blending of the white iron with the gray iron behind must be without 
any distinct line of demarcation, and the iron mu.st not have a mottled 
appMiarancc in any part of the wheel at a greater distance than one and 
five-cighlhs inches from tlic tread or throat. The depth of chill will Ijc 
determined by inspection of the three test wheels described below, all 
test wheels being broken for this purpose, if necessary. If one only of 
the three test wheels fails in limits of chill, all the lot under test of the 
same shrinkage or stencil number will be rejected and the test will be 
regarded as finished so far as this lot of 103 wheeb is concerned. The 
manufacturer may, however, offer the wheels of the other two shrinkage 
or stencil numbers, provided they are acceptable in other respects as 
constituents of another 103 wheels for a subsequent test. If two of the 
three test wheels fail in limits of chill, the wheels in the lot of 103 of the 
same shrinkage or stencil number as these two wheels will be rejected, 
and, as before, the test will be regarded as finished as far as this lot of 
103 wheels is concerned. The manufacturer may, however, offer the 
wheels of the third shrinkage or stencil number, provided they are 
acceptable in other respects, as constituents of another 103 wheels for 
a subsequent test. If all three test wheels fail in limits of chill, of course 
the whole hundred will be rejected. 

Inspection and Shipping 

8. The manufacturer must notify when he is ready to ship not less 
than 100 wheels; must await the arrival of the inspector; must have a 
car, or cars, ready to be loaded with wheels, and must furnish facilities 
and labor to enable the Inspector to inspect, test, load and ship the 
wheels promptly. \\'heels offered for inspection must not be covered 
with any substance which will hide defects. 

9. One hundred or more wheels being ready for test, the inspector will 
make a list of the wheel numbers, at the same time examining each wheel 
for defects. .\ny wheels which fail to conform to specifications by 
reason of defects must be laid aside, and such wheels will not be accepted 
for shipment. As individual wheels are rejected, others of the proper 
shrinkage or stencil number may be offered to keep the number 
good. 



Thermal Test 353 

Retaping 

10. The inspector will retape not less than 10 per cent of the wheels 
offered for test, and if he finds any showing wrong tape-marking, he will 
tape the whole lot and require them to be restenciled, at the same time 
having the old stencil marks obliterated. He will weigh and make check 
measurements of at least 10 per cent of the wheels offered for test, and 
if any of these wheels fail to conform to the specification, he will weigh 
and measure the whole lot, refusing to accept for shipment any wheels 
which fail in these respects. 

Drop Tests 

11. Experience indicates that wheels with higher shrinkage or lower 
stencil numbers are more apt to fail on thermal test; more apt to fail 
on drop test and more apt to exceed the maximum allowable chill than 
those with higher stencil or lower shrinkage numbers; while, on the 
other hand, wheels with higher stencil or lower shrinkage numbers are 
more apt to be deficient in chill. For each 103 wheels apparently 
acceptable, the inspector will select three wheels for test — one from 
each of the three shrinkage or stencil numbers offered. One of these 
wheels chosen for this purpose by the inspector must be tested by drop 
test as follows: The wheel must be placed flange downward in an anvil 
block weighing not less than 1700 pounds, set on rubble masonry two 
feet deep and having three supports not more than five inches wide for 
the flange of the wheel to rest on. It must be struck centrally upon the 
hub by a weight of 200 pounds, falUng from a height as shown in the 
table on page 350. The end of the faUing weight must be flat, so as to 
strike fairly on the hub, and when by wear the bottom of the weight 
assumes a round or conical form, it must be replaced. The machine for 
making this test is shown on drawings which wiU be furnished. Should 
the wheel stand, without breaking in two or more pieces, the number of 
blows shown in the above table, the one hundred wheels represented by 
it will be considered satisfactory as to this test. Should it fail, the whole 
hundred will be rejected. 

Thermal Test 

12. The other two test wheels must be tested as follows: The wheels 
must be laid flange down in the sand, and a channel way one and one-half 
inches in width at the center of the tread and four inches deep must be 
molded with green sand around the wheel. The clean tread of the wheel 
must form one side of this channel way, and the clean flange must form 
as much of the bottom as its width will cover. The channel way must

ihcii l>c fillud l<) the toj) from <»nc ladle with molten cast iron, which must 
he jKiuretl direi tly into the channel way without previous cooling or 
stirring, and this iron must be so hot, when |)ourcd, that the ring which 
is formed when the metal is cold shall be solid or free from wrinkles or 
layers. Iron at this temperature will usually cut a hole at the jjoint of 
impact with the flange. In order to avoid spitting during the pouring, 
the tread and inside of the flange during the thermal test should be 
covered with a coat of shellac; wheels which are wet or which have been 
exposed to snow or frost maybe warmed sufficiently to dry them or 
remove the frost before testing, but under no circumstances must the 
thermal test be applied to a wheel that in any part feels warm tn th<-' 
liand. The time when pouring ceases must be noted, and two minutes 
later an examination of the wheel under test must be made. If the wheel 
is found broken in pieces, or if any crack in the plates extends through 
or into the tread, the test wheel will be regarded as having failed. If 
both wheels stand, the whole hundred will be accepted as to this test. 
If both fail, the whole hundred will be rejected. If one only of the ther- 
mal lest wheels fails, all of the lot under test of the same shrinkage or 
stencil number will be rejected, and the test will be regarded as finished, 
so far as this lot of wheels is concerned. The manufacturer may, however, 
offer the wheels of the other two shrinkage or stencil numbers, provided 
I hey are acceptable in other respects, as constituents of another 103 
wheels for a subsequent test. 

Storing and Shipping 

13. All wheels which pass inspection and test will be regarded as 
accepted, and may be either shipped or stored for future shipment, as 
arranged. It is desired that shipments should be, as far as possible, in 
lots of 100 wheels. In all cases the inspector must witness the shipment, 
and he must give, in his report, the. numbers of all wheels inspected and 
I he disposition made of them. 

Rejections 

14. Individual wheels will be considered to have failed and will not 
!)c accepted or further considered, which. 

First. Do not conform to standard design and measurement. 

Second. Are under or over weight. 

Third. Have the physical defects described in Section 6. 

15. Each 103 wheels submitted for test will be considered to have 
failed and will not be accepted or considered further, if, 

First. The test wheels do not conform to Section 7, especially as to 
limits of white iron in the throat and tread and around chaplets. 



Standard Specifications for Locomotive Cylinders 355 

Second. One of the test wheels does not stand the drop test as de

Third. Both of the two test wheels do not stand the thermal test as

than shown by table No. II shall be made of the same outside diameter 
as the class D pipes. 

For 4-inch to 12-inch pipes, inclusive, one class of special castings 
shall be furnished, made from class D pattern. Those having spigot 
ends shall have outside diameters of spigot ends midwaj- between the 
two standards of outside diameters as shown by table No. II, and shall be 
tapered back for a distance of 6 inches. For 14-inch to 24-inch pipes, 
inclusive, two classes of special castings shall be furnished, class B spe- 
cial castings with classes A and B pipes, and class D special castings 
with classes C and D pipes, the former to be stamped "AB" and the 
latter to be stamped "CD." For 30-inch to 60-inch pipes, inclusive, 
four classes of special castings shall be furnished, one for each class of 
pipe, and shall be stamped with the letter of the class to which they 
belong. 

Allowable Variation in Diameter of Pipes and Sockets 
Especial care shall be taken to have the sockets of the required size. 
The sockets and spigots will be tested by circular gauges, and no pipe will 
be received which is defective in joint room from any cause. The diam- 
eters of the sockets and the outside diameters of the bead ends of the 



Special Castings 357 

pipes shall not vary from the standard dimensions by more than 0.06 
of an inch for pipes 16 inches or less in diameter; 0.08 of an inch for 
18-inch, 20-inch and 24-inch pipes; o.io of an inch for 30-inch, 36-inch 
and 42-inch pipes; 0.12 of an inch for 48-inch, and 0.15 of an inch for 
54-inch and 60-inch pipes. 

Allowable Variation in Thickness 

For pipes whose standard thickness is less than i inch, the thickness of 
metal in the body of the pipe shall not be more than 0.08 of an inch less 
than the standard thickness, and for pipes whose standard thickness is 
I inch or more, the variation shall not exceed o.io of an inch, except that 
for spaces not exceeding 8 inches in length in any direction, variations 
from the standard thickness of 0.02 of an inch in excess of the allowance 
above given shall be permitted. 

For special castings of standard patterns a variation of 50 per cent 
greater than allowed for straight pipe shall be permitted. 

Defective Spigots may be Cut 

Defective spigot ends on pipes 12 inches or more in diameter may be 
cut off in a lathe and a half-round wrought-iron band shrunk into a 
groove cut in the end of the pipe. Not more than 1 2 per cent of the total 
number of accepted pipes of each size shall be cut and banded, and no 
pipe shall be banded which is less than 1 1 feet in length, exclusive of the 
socket. 

In case the length of a pipe differs from 12 feet, the standard weight 
of the pipe given in table No. II shall be modified in accordance therewith. 

Special Castings 

All special castings shall be made in accordance with the cuts and the 
dimensions given in the table forming a part of these specifications. 

The diameters of the sockets and the external diameters of the bead 
ends of the special castings shall not vary from the standard dimensions 
by more than 0.12 of an inch for castings 16 inches or less in diameter; 
0.15 of an inch for 18-inch, 20-inch and 24-inch castings; 0.20 of an inch 
for 30-inch, 36-inch and 42-inch castings; and 0.24 of an inch for 48- 
inch, S4-inch and 60-inch castings. These variations apply only to 
special castings made from standard patterns. 

The flanges on all manhole castings and manhole covers shall be faced 
true and smooth, and drilled to receive bolts of the sizes given in the 
tables. The manufacturer shall furnish and deliver all bolts for bolting 
on the manhole covers, the bolts to be of the sizes shown on plans and 
made of the best quality of mild steel, with hexagonal heads and nuts 
and sound, well-fitting threads.

360 Stundurd Specificutions for Cast Iron I'ipc 

Marking 
Evcrj' pipe and special casting shall have distinctly cast upon it the 
initials of the maker's name. When cast especially to order, each pipe 
and special casting larger than 4-inch may als<j have cast U|X)n it figures 
showing the year in which it was cast and a numljcr signifying the order 
in point of time in which it was cast, the figures denoting the year being 
above and the number below, thus: 

1901 1901 1901 

I 2 3 

etc., also any initials, not exceeding four, which may be required by the 
purchaser. The letters and figures shall be cast on the outside and shall 
be not less than 2 inches in length and J6 of an inch in relief for pipes 
8 inches in diameter and larger. For smaller sizes of pipes the letters 
may be i inch in length. The weight and the class letter shall be con- 
spicuously painted in white on the inside of each pipe and special casting 
after the coating has become hard. 

Allowable Percentage of Variation in Weight 
No pipe shall be accepted the weight of which shall be less than the 
standard weight by more than 5 per cent for pipes 16 inches or less in 
diameter, and 4 per cent for pipes more than 16 inches in diameter, and 
no excess above the standard weight of more than the given percentages 
for the several sizes shall be paid for. The total weight to be paid for 
shall not exceed, for each size and class of pipe received, the sum of the 
standard weights of the same number of pieces of the given size and class 
by more than 2 per cent. 

No special casting shall be accepted the weight of which shall be less 
than the standard weight by more than 10 per cent for pipes 12 inches 
or less in diameter, and 8 per cent for larger sizes, except that curves, 
Y pieces and breeches pipe may be 12 per cent below the standard weight, 
and no excess above the standard weight of more than the above per- 
centages for the several sizes will be paid for. These variations apply 
only to castings made from the standard patterns. 

Quality of Iron 
All pipes and special castings shall be made of cast iron of good quality 
and of such character as shall make the metal of the castings strong, 
tough and of even grain, and soft enough to satisfactorily admit of 
drilling and cutting. The metal shall be made without any admixture 
of cinder iron or other inferior metal, and shall be remelted in a cupola 
or air furnace. 



Coating 361 

Tests of Material 
Specimen bars of the metal used, each being 26 inches long by 2 inches 
wide and i inch tliick, shall be made without charge as often as the 
engineer may direct, and, in default of definite instructions, the con- 
tractor shall make and test at least one bar from each heat or run of 
metal. The bars, when placed flatwise upon supports 24 inches apart 
and loaded in the center, shall for pipes 12 inches or less in diameter 
support a load of 1900 pounds and show a deflection of not less than 0.30 
of an inch before breaking, and for pipes of sizes larger than 12 inches 
shall support a load of 2000 pounds and show a deflection of not less than 
0.32 of an inch. The contractor shall have the right to make and break 
three bars from each heat or run of metal, and the test shall be based upon 
the average results of the three bars. Should the dimensions of the bars 
differ from those above given, a proper allowance therefor shall be made 
in the results of the tests. 

Casting of Pipes 

The straight pipes shall be cast in dry sand moulds in a vertical position. 
Pipes 16 inches or less in diameter shall be cast with the hub end up or 
down, as specified in the proposal. Pipes 18 inches or more in diameter 
shall be cast with the hub end down. 

The pipes shall not be stripped or taken from the pit while showing 
color of heat, but shall be left in the flasks for a sufliicient length of time 
to prevent unequal contraction by subsequent exposure. 

Quality of Castings 
The pipes and special castings shall be smooth, free from scales, lumps, 
blisters, sand holes and defects of every nature which unfit them for the 
use for which they are intended. No plugging or fiUing will be allowed. 

Cleaning and Inspection 
All pipes and special castings shall be thoroughly cleaned and sub- 
jected to a careful hammer inspection. No casting shall be coated unless 
entirely clean and free from rust, and approved in these respects by the 
engineer immediately before being dipped. 

Coating 

Every pipe and special casting shall be coated inside and out with coal- 
tar pitch varnish. The varnish shall be made from coal tar. To this 
material sufficient oil may be added to make a smooth coating, tough and 
tenacious when cold, and not brittle nor with any tendency to scale off. 

Each casting shall be heated to a temperature of 300° F., immediately 
before it is dipped, and shall possess not less than this temperature at the 



362 



Slamlard SiKcilications for C'a.st Iron I'ijx: 



lime it is put in the vat. The ovens in which the pipes arc heated shall 
lie so arranged tliat ail portions of the pipe shall be heated to an even 
temperature. Kacli casting shall remain in the bath at least five minutes. 

The varni.sh shall be heated to a temperature of 300° I*, (or less if the 
engineer shall so order), and shall be maintained at this temperature 
during the time the casting is immersed. 

Fresh pitch and oil shall be added when necessary to keep the mixture 
at the proper consistency, and the vat shall be emptied of its contents 
and refilled with fresh pitch when deemed necessarj- by the engineer. 
After being coated the pipes shall be carefully drained of the surplus 
varnish. Any pipe or special casting that is to be recoated shall first be 
thoroughly scraped and cleaned. 

Hydrostatic Test 

WTien Ihe coating has become hard, the straight pipes shall be sub- 
jected to a proof by hydrostatic pressure, and, if required by the engineer, 
they shall also be subjected to a hammer test under this pressure. 

The pressures to which the different sizes and classes of pipes shall be 
subjected are as follows:

Weighing 
The pipes and special castings shall be weighed for payment under the 
supervision of the engineer after the application of the coal-tar pitch 
varnish. If desired by the engineer, the pipes and special castings shall 
be w^eighed after their deliver)' and the weights so ascertained shall be 
used in the final settlement, provided such weighing is done by a legalized 
weighmaster. Bids shall be submitted and a final settlement made upon 
the basis of a ton of 2000 pounds. 

Contractor to Furnish Men and Materials 
The contractor shall provide all tools, testing machines, materials and 
men necessary for the required testing, inspection and weighing at the 
foundry, of the pipes and special castings; and, should the purchaser have 



Engineer or Inspector 363 

no inspector at the works, the contractor shall, if required by the engineer, 
furnish a sworn statement that all of the tests have been made as specified, 
this statement to contain the results of the tests upon the test bars. 

Power of Engineer to Inspect 

The engineer shall be at hberty at all times to inspect the material at 
the foimdry, and the moulding, casting and coating of the pipes and special 
castings. The forms, sizes, uniformity and conditions of all pipes and 
other castings herein referred to shall be subject to his inspection and 
approval, and he may reject, without proving, any pipes or other casting 
which is not in conformity with the specifications or drawings. 

Inspector to Report 

The inspector at the foimdry shall report daily to the foimdry office all 
pipes and special castings rejected, with the causes for rejection. 

Castings to be Delivered Sound and Perfect 

All the pipes and other castings must be delivered in all respects sound 
and conformable to these specifications. The inspection shall not relieve 
the contractor of any of his obligations in this respect, and any defective 
pipe or other castings which may have passed the engineer at the works 
or elsewhere shall be at all times liable to rejection when discovered until 
the final completion and adjustment of the contract, provided, however, 
that the contractor shall not be held liable for pipes or special castings 
found to be cracked after they have been accepted at the agreed point of 
deUvery. Care shall be taken in handling the pipes not to injure the 
coating, and no pipes or other material of any kind shall be placed in the 
pipes during transportation or at any time after they receive the coating. 

Definition of the Word "Engineer" 

Wherever the word "engineer" is used herein it shall be understood 
to refer to the engineer or inspector acting for the purchaser and to his 
properly authorized agents, limited by the particular duties intrusted 
to them.

CHAPTER XV 
MECHANICAL ANALYSIS 

While chemical analysis is absolutely necessary for the determination 
of the constituents of iron and the fuels, and is of greatest importance to 
the foundryman as a guide in their purchase, chemists cannot, however, 
as yet predict with certainty the physical properties which will result 
from the mixture of irons possessing identical composition. 

Test bars have shown, that of two irons, precisely the same in their 
chemical constituents, one may exceed the other in tensile strength by 
as much as 50 per cent. No satisfactory explanation of the discrepancy 
has been made. Various suggestions, attributing the cause to the ores, 
changes of temperatvure in the furnace, to difference in cooling, etc., are 
offered, but the problem is still unsolved. 

Whatever may be the cause of these differences, the foundryman needs 
some means of quickly detecting and correcting them. He should 
have prompt information as to shrinkage, softness and strength of his 
castings. 

During 1885, Mr. Keep made the important discovery that the shrink- 
age of test bars varied inversely as the silicon content, and that by 
measurement of shrinkage the silicon is practically determined. 

His investigations resulted in pointing out the intimate relations which 
exist between shrinkage and the other properties of cast iron, both 
chemical and physical. Mr. Keep's conclusions as to the importance of 
mechanical analysis are summarized as follows: 

The physical properties of the casting are not wholly dependent upon 
its chemical composition. 

Mechanical analysis measures the physical properties of the iron, 
which are, shrinkage, strength, deflection, set and depth of chill. The 
measure of these properties shows the combined influen^ce of each element 
in the chemical composition, and in addition thereto, it shows the in- 
fluence of fuel and every varying condition attending melting. 

These influences, particularly that of sulphur, are counteracted by the 
use of silicon. 

The measurement of shrinkage tells whether more or less silicon is 
needed to bring the quality of the casting to an accepted standard of 
excellence. 

371 



372 Mechanical Analysis 

Instead of calculating the chemical c<)mpf>silion and predictinR the 
pliysi(al properties, mechanical analysis ascertains the physical jiropcr- 
ties first, and determines from the shrinkage whether more or less silicon 
is reciuired to protluce castings of a given standard. Measurement of 
shrinkage is made quickly at a nominal cost and alone gives all necessary 
information. 

It tells the founder exactly what physical properties his castings have 
and exactly what to do to bring each of those properties to standard. 
By this method a founder can determine whether a low-priced iron is 
suitable for his use. 

Having fixed upon a standard, he can ascertain during the heat 
whether the mixture is of the desired quality, and if necessar>' can increase 
or decrease the silicon, according as the shrinkage should be reduced or 
increased. 

Mechanical analysis answers all the requirements of the ordinary 
founder. Its simplicity renders the emplojTnent of an expert unneces- 
sary. 

Pig iron and coke, having been purchased upon guaranteed analysis, 
an occasional analysis of the castings is only required. 

In a report to The American Society oi Mechanical Engineers, Mr. 
Keep presents a Shrinkage Chart and Strength Table, which are given 
below with his directions for using them. 

Shrinkage Chart 
W. J. Ki:i:i' 

While the tensile tests show an increase of strength with an increase 
of phosphorus, yet the transverse tests seem to show that phosphorus 
reduces strength. This is also general shop experience. 

Sulphur. — There is not in these tests enough uniformity between 
the percentage of sulphur and the strength to show any decided influence, 
but the indication is that sulphur dccrciises strength. In .some cases 
sulphur might add to strength by causing the grain to be closer. 

Manganese. — The percentage is too nearly the same in these series 
to show any influence on strength. 

By comparing strengths and chemical composition of the irons nearest 
alike, with all chemical elements nearly alike, and no scrap, but with 
quite different strengths, it is very evident that strength is dependent 
upon something outside of the ordinary- chemical composition. 

Slow cooUng decreases strength by making the grain of a casting 
coarse and more open. The larger the casting the weaker it become*" 
per square inch of section. The weakness is not caused by a decrease 
in combined carbon because a complete analysis of each size of test bar 



Shrinkage Chart 



373 



(Transactions, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Vol. XVI, 
p. hoc) shows the same combined carbon in all sizes of many series, 
but in all cases the strength per unit of section decreased as the size 
increased. 

Strength of any size of test bar cannot be calculated by any mathe- 
matical formula from the measured strength of another size, because the 
grain changes by slow cooling.

find this shrinkage on the left-hand margin and follow horizontally 
imtil you intersect the line of the measured test bar. Follow the

"With the shrinkage of a standard i-inch test bar, cast at the same 
time as the casting, find on the shrinkage chart the percentage of silicon 

in the casting. Then in the Table 
find the upper multipUer for a 2-inch 
test bar. This multiplied by the 
measured strength of the standard

Mechanical analysis covers tests 
for shrinkage, strength and hard- 
ness. 

Figs. 1 06 and 107 show a de\nce 
designed by Mr. Keep for determin- 
ing shrinkage. 

Determinations for strength are 
generally made by taking the trans- 
verse strength and deflection. 

The Riehle Machine as shown in 
Fig. 108 is in common use for this 
purpose. 

This illustration represents faith- 
fully the general appearance of this 
machine. The specimen is shown in position. The weighing-beams 
and levers are all carefully sealed to the standard of the United States, 
Government, and guaranteed to be accurate and reliable.

Constituents of Cast Iron 377 

Operation 

The weighing-beam must be balanced before the specimen is arranged 
for testing. The wheel shown must be moved from left to right, and, 
as the beam rises, the poise must be moved out to restore the equipoise. 
If more strain is required to break the specimen than can be weighed by 
the poise, move the poise back to zero and place the loose weight on the 
weight dish shown at the extreme left (small end) of weighing-beam, and 
move the poise out as before, until the test is completed. The calcula- 
tions are made so that the beam registers the center load.

Hardness 

This property may be measured by embedding steel balls in the casting 
to be tested, by Turner's Scleroscope (see cut, page 114, Turner's Lec- 
tures on " Founding "); or by Keep's Machine (see cut, page 187, " Cast 
Iron "). The latter method is the more simple and gives accurate results. 
A small high speed drill may be used for this purpose, but it must be so 
arranged that the load on the spindle will be constant. 

Standard Methods for Determining the Constituents 
of Cast Iron 

As reported by the Committee of the American Foundrymen's Association, Phila- 
delphia Convention, May 21-24, ^907. 

Determination of Silicon 

Weigh one gram of sample, add 30 c.c. nitric acid (1.13 sp. gr.); 
then 5 c.c. sulphuric acid (cone). Evaporate on hot plate xintil all 
fumes are driven off. Take up in water and boil until all ferrous sul- 
phate is dissolved. Filter on an ashless filter, with or without suction 
pump, using a cone. Wash once with hot water, once with hydrochloric 
acid, and three or four times with hot water. Ignite, weigh and evapo- 



378 Chemical Analysis 

rale with a few drops of sulphuric acid and 4 or s c.c. of hydrofluoric acid. 
Ignite slowly and weigh. Mullii)ly the difference in weight by 0.4702, 
which equals the per cent of silicon. 

Determination of Sulphur 

Dissolve slowly a three-gram sample of drillings in concentrated nitric 
acid in a platinum dish covered with an inverted watch glass. After 
the iron is completely dissolved, add two grams of potassium nitrate, 
evapx)rate to dryness and ignite over an alcohol lamp at red heat. Add 
50 c.c. of a one per cent solution of sodium carbonate, boil for a few 
minutes, filter, using a little paper pulp in the filter if desired, and wash 
with a hot one per cent sodium carbonate solution. Acidify the filtrate 
with hydrochloric acid, evaporate to drj-ness, take up with 50 c.c. of 
water and 2 c.c. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, filter, wash and after 
diluting the filtrate to about 100 c.c. cool and precipitate with barium 
chloride. Filter, wash well with hot water, ignite and weigh as barium 
sulphate, which contains 13.733 per cent of sulphur. 

Determination of Pliosplioriis 

Dissolve 2 grams sample in 50 c.c. nitric acid (sp. gr., 1.13), add 10 c.c. 
hydrochloric acid and evaporate to dryness. In case the sample contains 
a fairly high percentage of phosphorus it is better to use half the above 
quantities. Bake until free from acid, redissolving in 25 to 30 c.c. of 
concentrated hydrochloric acid; dilute to about 60 c.c, filter and wash. 
Evaporate to about 25 c.c, add 20 c.c. concentrated nitric acid, evapo- 
rate until a film begins to form, add 30 c.c. of nitric acid (sp. gr., 1.20) 
and again evaporate until a film begins to form. Dilute to about 150 c.c. 
with hot water and allow it to cool. WTien the solution is between 70 
degrees and 80 degrees C. add 50 c.c. of molybdate solution, .\gitate 
the solution a few minutes, then filter on a tarred Gooch crucible having 
a paper disc at the bottom. Wash three times with a 3 per cent nitric 
acid solution and twice with alcohol. Dr>' at 100 degrees to 105 degrees 
C. to constant weight. The weight multiplied b}- 0.0163 equals thef>er 
cent of phosphorus in a i-gram sample. 

To make the molj'bdate solution add loo grams molybdic acid to 
250 c.c. water, and to this add 150 c.c. ammonia, then stir until all is 
dissolved and add 65 c.c. nitric acid (1.42 sp. gr.). Make another solu- 
tion by adding 400 c.c. concentrated nitric acid to 1100 c.c. water, and 
when the solutions are cool, pour the first slowly into the second 
wnth constant stirring and add a couple of drops of ammonium 
phosphate. 



Determination of Total Carbon 379 

Determination of Manganese 

Dissolve one and one- tenth grams of drillings in 25 c.c. nitric acid 
(1.13 sp. gr.), filter into an Erlenmeyer flask and wash with 30 c.c. of the 
same acid. Then cool and add about one-half gram of bismuthate until 
a permanent pink color forms. Heat until the color has disappeared, 
with or without the precipitation of manganese dioxide, and then add 
either sulphtu-ous acid or a solution of ferrous sulphate until the solution 
is clear. Heat until all nitrous oxide fumes have been driven off, cool 
to about fifteen degrees C; add an excess of sodium bismuthate — about 
one gram — and agitate for two or three minutes. Add 50 c.c. water 
containing 30 c.c. nitric acid to the Htre, filter on an asbestos filter into 
an Erlenmeyer flask, and wash with fifty to one hundred c.c. of the nitric 
acid solution. Run in an excess of ferrous sulphate and titrate back with 
potassium permanganate solution of equal strength. Each c.c. of N-io 
ferrous sulphate used is equal to o.io per cent of manganese. 

Determination of Total Carbon 

This determination requires considerable apparatus; so in view of 
putting as many obstacles out of the way of its general adoption in cases 
of dispute, your committee has left optional several points which were 
felt to bring no chance of error into the method. 

The train shall consist of a pre-heating furnace, containing copper 
oxide (Option No. i) followed by caustic potash (1.20 sp. gr.), then 
calcium chloride, following which shall be the combustion furnace in 
which either a porcelain or platinum tube may be used (Option No. 2). 
The tube shall contain four or five inches of copper oxide between plugs 
of platinum gauze, the plug to the rear of the tube to be at about the 
point where the tube extends from the furnace. A roll of silver foil about 
two inches long shall be placed in the tube after the last plug of platinum 
gauze. The train after the combustion tube shall be anhydrous cupric 
sulphate, anhydrous cuprous chloride, calcium chloride, and the absorp- 
tion bulb of potassium hydrate (sp. gr., 1.27) with prolong filled with 
calcium chloride. A calcium chloride tube attached to the aspirator 
bottle shall be connected to the prolong. 

In this method a single potash bulb shall be used. A second bulb is 
sometimes used for a counterpoise being more liable to introduce error 
than correct error in weight of the bulb in use, due to change of tempera- 
ture or moisture in the atmosphere. 

The operation shall be as follows: To i gram of well-mixed drillings 
add 100 c.c. of potassium copper chloride solution and 7.5 c.c. of hydro- 
chloric acid (cone). As soon as dissolved, as shown by the disappearance 



3So Chemical Analysis 

of all copper, filter on previously washefl and ignited asbestos. Wash 
thorouglily the beaker in which the solution was made with 20 c.c. of 
dilute hydrochloric acid [i to 1 ], [xjur this on the filter and wash the carbon 
out of the beaker by means of a wash bottle containinjj dilute hydro- 
chloric acid [i to i] and then wash with warm water out of the 
filter. Dry the carbon at a temperature between 95 and 100 de- 
grees C. 

Before using the apparatus a blank shall be run and if the bulb does 
not gain in weight more than 0.5 milligram, put the drictl filter into the 
ignition tube and heat the pre-heating furnace and the part of the com- 
bustion furnace containing the copper oxide, .\fter this is heated start 
the aspiration of oxygen or air at the rate of three bubbles per second, to 
show in the potash bulb. Continue slowly heating the combustion tube 
by turning on two burners at a time, and continue the combustion for 
30 minutes if air is used; 20 minutes if oxygen is used. (The Shimer 
crucible is to be heated with a blast lamp for the same length of 
time.) 

When the ignition is finished turn off the gas supply gradually so as 
to allow the combustion tube to cool off slowly and then shut off the 
oxygen supply and aspirate with air for 10 minutes. Detach the potash 
bulb and prolong, close the ends with rubber caps and allow it to stand 
for 5 minutes, then weigh. The increase in weight multiplied by 0.27273 
equals the percentage of carbon. 

The potassium copper chloride shall be made by dissolving one pound 
of the salt in one litre of water and filtering through an asbestos 
filter. 

Option No. I. — \Miile a pre-heater is greatly to be desired, as only 
a small percentage of laboratories at present use them, it was decided 
not to make the use of one essential to this method; subtraction of the 
weight of the blank to a great extent eliminating any error which might 
arise from not using a~ pre-heater. 

Option No. 2. — The Shimer and similar crucibles are largely used as 
combustion furnaces and for this reason it was decided to make optional 
the use of either the tube furnace or one of the standard crucibles. In 
case the crucible is used it shall be followed by a copper tube fi« inch 
inside diameter and ten inches long, with its ends cooled by water jackets. 
In the center of the tube shall be placed a disk of platinum gauze, and 
for three or four inches in the side towards the crucible shall be silver foil 
and for the same distance on the other side shall be copper oxide. The 
ends shall be plugged with glass wool, and the tube heated wnth a fish 
tail burner before the aspiration of the air is started. 



Graphite 381 

Graphite 
Dissolve one-gram sample in 35 c.c. nitric acid [1.13 sp. gr.], filter on 
asbestos, wash with hot water, then with potassium hydrate [i.i sp. gr.] 
and finally with hot water. The graphite is then ignited as specified in 
the determination of total carbon. 



CIIAPTKR XVI 
MALLEABLE CAST IRON 

Thk process of rendering iron castings malleable was discovered by 
Reaumur in 1722 and is essentially the same as that pursued at the 
present day. 

McWilliams and Longmuir divide malleable castings into two classes. 

1. Black Heart 

Black heart has a silvery outside and black inside, with a silky 
lustre. This is made of a hard white iron, containing from 3 to 4 per 
cent carbon, as hard carbide of iron. 

By the process of annealing, to be described later, the carbide of iron 
is decomposed into free carbon (annealing carbon) and iron; leaving a 
soft malleable iron, which contains nearly all of the initial carbon but 
in the free state finely divided and intermixed with the iron. 

Black heart is mostly made in America. The process is conducted 
much more rapidly than that of the ordinary (or Reaumur process), but 
requires more skill and scientific information. The iron used must be 
low in silicon and sulphur but need not necessarily be a while iron. 

The analysis should appro.ximate to, silicon, i per cent to 0.5 per cent; 
sulphur, .05 per cent as a maximum; phosphorus, .1 per cent maximum; 
manganese, .5 per cent maximum and carbon 3 per cent. 

The principle involved is that of taking white iron castings of suitable 
composition, heating them to high temperature and converting them to 
the malleable condition by precipitating the carbon in a fine state of 
division, as annealing carbon. High temperature shortens the process, 
i)ut it has been found more desirable to use a lower temperature and 
longer anneal, as the desired change is more readily secured. 

The method of molding is the same as for gray iron, with same allow- 
ance for shrinkage. The amount of feeder required varies from 12.5 
to 25 per cent of the weight of casting. Skill is required to make solid 
castings with minimum amount of metal. 

.Vfter cleaning in the usual manner the castings are packed in cast iron 
boxes of varynng sizxs to suit their character, with iron scale or sand, 
bone dust or fire clav; the boxes are covered with lids and luted, then 

3S2 



Black Heart 



383 



stacked in the annealing oven (to be described later). The temperature 
of the oven is gradually raised to about 1 100° C, maintained at that point 
for two days and then allowed to drop slowly until sufficiently cool to 
permit removal of the boxes. 

The composition of the castings after annealing is only altered in the 
carbon, the total amount being somewhat less but practically all present 
in the free state. The composition of castings made by one of the 
largest English makers is as follows: 

Si 0.5; S 0.04; P. 0.07; Mn 0.4; graphitic carbon 2.5; combined 
carbon 0.05. A test piece u-inch square bent 180° — -cold; tensile 
strength 40,000 pounds per square inch, elongation 6 per cent in 2 inches, 
reduction of area 9 per cent. 

Black heart is more reliable for light than for heavy work. To avoid 
the introduction of sulphur, the pig iron is usually melted in an air 
furnace. 

Messrs. Charpy & Grenet's experiments on irons of the following 
compositions are given herewith.

These irons were poured into cold water and contained no appreciable 
amount of graphite, excepting the last which had 20 per cent. Samples 
of these were subjected to various reheatings and to ascertain as nearly 
as practicable the condition at any one temperature, the samples were 
quenched at that temperature and then analyzed. 

1. Heated at 1100° C. or any low temperature for long periods gave 
no graphitic carbon; but at 1150° C. the separation.of graphitic carbon 
was produced. 

2. Heated for four hours each at 700°, 800°, 900° and 1000° C. showed 
no free carbon; but it appeared in heating to 1100° C. 

3. Showed traces at 800° C. 

4. 5. Showed traces at 650° C. 

In the case of No. 5, after heating at 650° C. for 6 hours, the content 
of graphitic carbon had increased from o.io to 2.83 per cent. 

The separation of graphite, once commenced, continues at tempera- 
tures inferior to those at which the action begins. 

Thus: A sample of No. i, heated at 1170° C. and quenched, contained 



384 



Malleable Cast Iron 



only 0.50 graphitic carlKin and 2.t"> combined corlxin, while another 
sample of the same cast iron, heate<l at the s^ime time to 1 1 70" C, cooled 
slowly to 700° C. and then (iiicnditd contained 1.87 graphitic airl>on 
and 0.43 comljincd larhoii. 

Again a fragment of No. 3, heated to 1 170° C. and quenched, contained 
1.42 graphitic carbon and 1.69 combined carbon, while another fragment 
heated to 1170° C. cooled slowly to 700° C. and then quenched ct)nlaine<l 
2.56 graphitic carbon and 0.38 combined carbon. 

At a constant temperature the separation of the graphite is ctTectefl 
progressively, at a rate that is the more gradual, the lower the tempera- 
ture or the less the silicon content. 

The authors show that these cast irons, with regard lo the critical 
points, have the usual carbon change point, about 700° C, but that there 
is another well-marked arrest in heating at 1140", 1165°, 1137° and 
1165° C, for numbers i, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively; and similarly in 
cooling at 1120°, 1130°, 1137° and 1145° C. 

In an experiment made by W. H. Hatfield, with six bars, all containing: 

Si i.o; S 0.04; P 0.04; Mn 0.22; graphitic carbon 2.83; combined 
carbon 0.08, all white irons as cast; variously heat-treated so as to give 
the same composition to analysis, but to have the free carbon in all 
states of division from fine in No. i to coarse in No. 6. 

Bars I inch square by 18 inches long were tested transversely on knife 
edges 12 inches apart and gave

before fracture; the gradually decreasing deflections given being due 
entirely to the increasing coarseness of the free carbon. 

Another set of four test bars, containing 0.45, 0.90, 1.10-1.8S per cent 
silicon but otherwise similar in composition to the above; heat-treated 
so that all should have the same type of free or annealing carlx)n, gave 
95°i 98°, 94° and 89°, respectively, when subjected to the ordinary 
bending test. 

The microstructurc of these bars consisted of ferrite or silicon ferrite 
speckled with annealing carbon, which if kept of suitable structure affects 
the malleability Uttle more than does the slag in the case of wrought 
iron. 



Ordinary or Reaumur Malleable Cast Iron

Pearlite, when present, after heat-treating white irons, greatly in- 
creases the tenacity, one sample having a tenacity of 32.6 tons per square 
inch, with an elongation of 6 per cent on 2 inches, and a bending angle 
of 90°, when treated so as to leave 0.35 per cent of carbon in the com- 
bined form and present as pearlite in the structure. 

Another sample of the same general composition, but treated to leave 
only 0.06 per cent as combined carbon had a tenacity of 21.2 tons per 
square inch, elongation 11 per cent on two inches and a bending angle 
of 180° unbroken. 



2. Ordinary or Reaumur Malleable Cast Iron 

In this class of castings the carbon is completely eliminated, leaving 
a soft material similar in analysis to wrought iron. 

It is stated that irons containing as much as 0.5 sulphur may be used 
in this class of castings. The irons employed are mottled or white, 
analyzing as follows: Si 0.5 to 0.9; S 0.25 to 0.35; P 0.05 to 0.08; Mn 
0.1 to 0.2, total carbon ^li per cent 

It may be melted in the crucible, in the cupola, or in the air fiumace. 
The cupola is more in general use in England than the air fiirnace. 

The table below shows approximately the influence of remelting by 
the several processes.

Whichever furnace is used it is necessary to have the metal fluid 
enough to fill the most intricate parts of the molds to be poured in any 
one batch. Molding operations are the same as for green sand, except 
that provision must be made for the narrow range of fluidity and the 
high contraction of wliite iron. 

Allowance for shrinkage is H inch to the foot. The castings after 
proper cleaning are packed in cast-iron boxes of suitable sizes, with red 
hematite ore broken up finely. New ore is not used alone but one 
part new is mixed thoroughly \vith four parts that have been used 
before; the castings are carefully packed in this mixture so that no 
two are in contact. 

The oxygen from the ore oxidizes the carbon in the castings, gradually

cliiniiuling it. Tlie ore, [)rc\ious tx) use. is red oxide of iron (FcjOi), 
bill after the annealing process is found to be black oxide corresponding 
to the formula FesOi. 

After stacking the boxes in the annealing oven, the temperature is 
gradually raised during 48 to 72 hours; maintained at the annealing 
temperature from 12 to 24 hours, then allowed from 48 to 72 hours to 
cool. 

The length of time during which the high temperature is maintained 
varies with the thickness of the castings. For thick work the high 
temperature may have to be continued for a period increasing with the 
thickness of the castings up to 96 hours.

Some makers anneal at as low a temperature as 850° C. (see P. Long, 
" Metallurgy', Iron and Steel," page 130). Within reasonable limits, 
chemical composition of the castings in this process has little bearing 
on the result provided they are white iron as cast. 

The sihcon may run from 0.3 to 0.9; sulphur 0.05 to 0.5; phosphorus 
should be under o.i; manganese causes trouble if over 0.5. 

Castings made by this process give a tensile strength of 18 to 22 tons; 
an elongation of 2 '2 to 6 per cent on 2 fnches and a reduction of area of 
5 to 8 per cent, with a cold bend on ' j-inch square, of 45° to 90°. 

Mr. P. Longmuir obtained the following results from a commercial 
casting: Tensile strength, 27 tons; elongation, 5.7 per cent on 2 inches; 
reduction of area 10 per cent; it analyzed Si 0.65; S 0.3; P 0.04; 
Mn 0.15. 

In the process of annealing the carbon only is affected, being con- 
siderably reduced in amount; what remains is partly free and partly 
combined. An annealed sample containing 0.6 per cent free carbon and 
0.4 combined ii considered good. 

Mr. Percy Longmuir places the average silicon for good malleable 
castings at 0.6, sulphur 0.3, phosphorus 0.05, and combined carbon 3 
to 3.5 per cent.

One was packed in charcoal, another in pure quartz sand, the third 
in a red hematite ore mixture, consisting of two parts old and one part 
new. The pots were placed close together in the annealing oven and 
slowly raised to about 800° C. This required about three days. They 
were held at this temperature for 24 hours, then raised to 900° C, held 
there for two days, then cooled slowly. Upon removal and breaking 
the following results appeared. 

No. I, from charcoal, broke short and gave a coarsely crystalline 
structure showing under the microscope absolutely no free carbon. 

Its carbon was 1.63 per cent, the other elements remaining unchanged. 

No. 2, from sand, was fairly tough but broke without bending. 
Fracture crystalline and steely. Its carbon was 0.74 per cent and again 
no free carbon was found. 

No. 3, from the ore mixture, bent considerably before breaking 
and was fairly ductile. Its carbon was 0.15 per cent and again no 
free carbon could be found, the structure being of ferrite crystals.

carbon being removed without previous formation of free or temper 
carbon.

The packing was the ore mixture previously referred lo. 

Sami)les were heat-treated and sections were given a careful micro- 
scopical examination, with the following results: 

Decarburization began 54 hours after commencement of heating and 
at 770° C, showing a thin skin of ferrite; the cemaining portion of the 
casting retained the typical structure of white iron. 40 hours later, 
during which time the temperature gradually raised to 980° C, the de- 
carburized skin increased in thickness to ?i6 inch. 

Fourteen hours later, at a temperature of 970° C, the interior had 
broken down and free or temper carbon was apparent. During the 
next interval of 60 hours, at 950° C. ver>' little change occurred. The 
center showed pearlite, with a little cementite and containing temper 
carbon, merging gradually into the skin of ferrite. 

During the following 72 hours, the temperature was dropped to 
140° C, resulting in the production of a really good sample of English 
malleable cast iron of the following analysis:

The author's conclusion is, that carbon is eliminated while still in 
combination with the iron. 

It (the elimination) begins to take place at the comparatively low 
temperature of 750° C, and increases in activity with the temperature 
until such a temperature is reached that free or temper carbon is pre- 
cipitated. 

Previous to this change the interior consists of white iron, with the 
original quantity of combined carbon. 

As the operation proceeds the temper carbon is gradually takiu back 
into combination to replace that removed by the oxidizing influences.

The rmxtures of iron vary as the castings are thick or thin. The iron 
is melted either in the cupola, the air furnace or the open hearth furnace. 
The latter produces the best castings, but can only be used advanta- 
geously where the output is large enough to permit of running the fur- 
nace continuously. 

The air furnace is most frequently used. 

The castings may or may not be packed in an oxidizing material. 
Sand or fire clay are frequently used. 

Dr. Moldenke, who is recognized as an authority on malleable cast 
iron, states: "That it is absolutely necessary to have the hard castings 
free from graphite." He advises the following: 

Contents: Per Cent 

Carbon 3 -3.5 

Silicon, heavy work, not over 0.45 

SiUcon, ordinary work, not over 0.65 

Silicon, agricultural work, not over 0.80-1 . 25 

Sulphiu:, not over o . 05 

Phosphorus, not over 0.225 

Manganese, not over o . 40 

"In anneaUng, the temperature of the furnace should be run up to 
' heat' in the shortest safe time possible; the limit is the danger of injury 
to furnace. Then the dampers should be closed and the temperature 
evenly maintained for 48 hours. The furnace should then be gradually 
cooled to a black heat before dumping. 36 hours are usually required 
to bring the oven up to heat. 

The entire process occupies about seven days. The annealing tem- 
perature is 1350° F. and this must obtain at the coldest part of the fiu:- 
nace, usually the lower part of the middle of the front row of pots. 

A difference of 200° F. in temperature is often found at different 
parts of the furnace. 

Cupola iron requires an annealing temperatvure 200° F. higher than 
that from an air furnace. 

The fuel ratio of an air furnace runs from i to 2 to i to 4. 

Loss in silicon about 35 points. 

Temperatures should be carefully watched and measured with a 
Le Chatelier pyrometer." 

The Doctor has much to say about the danger of injury to the melted 
iron in the bath, from oxidation. His practice was to have three tapping 
spouts at different levels, so that for an 18-ton furnace, three taps of 
6 tons each may be made at intervals, tapping at the upper hole first 
and then in order from upper to bottom hole. 



3<)o Malleable Cast Iron 

Mr. II. i:. Dillcr, in the Journal of The American Foundrymen's 
Association, Vol. XI, Dec, iyo2, says: 

The hard casting should have its carbon practically all in the com- 
bined state, while the annealing process should convert this to the so- 
called temper, or annealing carbon. 

In the manufacture of malleable castings the special make of iron 
called '.Malleable Bessemer' or 'Malleable Coke Iron' is the principal 
material used. The charcoal irons, while unequalled for value, arc con- 
fined to the regions where they can compete with the cheaper coke 
irons. 

The composition required is as follows: 

Per cent 

Silicon o . 75 to I . so 

Sulphur, below 0.04, if possible 

Phosphorus, under. . . .0. 20 

With the pig iron, hard sprues funannealcd scrap), steel and also malle- 
able scrap are charged. The latter two materials are very good to add 
to the mixture, as they raise the strength of the casting very consider- 
ably. 

Too much must not be added, as it would reduce the carbon to a 
point where fluidity and life in the melted metal is sacrificed. 

The most serious objection to cupola iron is its poor behavior under 
bending test, the deflection being very slight. Test bars from this 
(lass of iron seldom run above 40,000 pounds per square inch in tensile 
strength, while with furnace iron, there is no dilViculty in getting a few 
th:)usand pounds more. 

The metal may be tapped from the furnaces into hand ladles; or it 
may be caught in crane ladles, carried to the distributing point and there 
emptied into the hand ladles. 

When tapped into hand ladles, time is a serious item, for the begin- 
ning and the end of the heat will be two diCferent things.- The latter 
iron will be inferior as it was subjected to the oxidizing efTect of 
the flame much longer than the first part. This difiiculty is some- 
what remedied by pouring the light work first, the heavier pieces 
coming later, when the silicon has been lowered too much for good light 
castings. 

The gating should be done to avoid the shrinkage effects as much 
as may be. The little tricks that can be applied make a surprising 
difference in the molding loss. Some malleable works seldom lose 
more than 10 per cent, while in others 20 per cent and over is the 
rule. 

After the castings have been tumbled they go to the annealing room, 



American Practice

where they are packed in mill cinder or iron ore, in cast-iron boxes. 
These are carefully luted up and heated in suitably constructed ovens, 
foir five or six days. 

• It usually takes from 36 hours to 48 hours to get the oven up to heat, 
the temperature ranging from 1600° to 1800° F. in the oven, the boxes 
having a somewhat lower temperature at the coldest point. 

When the fires are extinguished, the dampers are closed tight, all 
air excluded, and the oven allowed to cool very gradually; often only 
400" F. the first day. 

After the castings come from the annealing oven, they are again 
tumbled to remove the burnt scale; then chipped and ground for ship- 
ment. 

A well-annealed casting should not have much over o.o5 to 0.12 
per cent combined carbon remaining in it. There is a material difference 
between the strength of an over-annealed casting and a normal one.

Two bars were taken from each of five heats. One from each set 
was given the usual anneal and the others reannealed. The average 
tensile strength of those annealed as usual, was 50,520 pounds 'per 
square inch, and the average elongation 6M per cent in six inches. 

The reannealed set had an average tensile strength of 43,510 pounds 
per square inch; the average elongation was 6h per cent in six inches. 
Over annealing had therefore cost the metal some 7000 pounds of its 
strength. 

'Malleable' can be made up to 60,000 pounds per square inch, though 
this is not advisable as the shock resisting qualities are sacrificed. 

Prof. Ledebur determined by experiment that the higher the silicon 
the lower the annealing temperature required, and the higher the tem- 
perature and silicon the quicker the change. He used five samples: 

1 with 0.07 silicon. Could not be annealed. 

2 with 0.27 silicon. Required temperature almost at melting point. 

3 with 0.80 silicon. Began to anneal at 1675° F- 

4 with 1.25 siHcon. Began to anneal at 1200° F. 

5 with 2.10 silicon. Began to anneal at 1200° F.

STEEL CASTINGS IN THE FOUNDRY 



There is a great demand on ihe part of foundr>Tncn for an appliance 
to successfully melt steel in small quantities; permitting small steel 
castings, or castings for which the demand is immediate, to be made in 
the gray iron foundrj'. Many eCforts have been made to realize this 
desire, but so far have met with indiflerent success. There are several 
appliances offered to manufacturers, some emploj'ing the Bessemer 
converter, others the electric furnace in connection with the cupola. 

Men cspeciall}- skilled are required to manipulate steel furnaces. The 
processes of mixing and melting the metal and annealing castings differ 
so radically from those of the gray iron foundry, that in the present 
undeveloped state of steel founding on a small scale, steps on the part 
of the foundryman in that direction should be taken with extreme 
caution. 

Mr. Percy Longmuir defines ordinarj'^ steel "as iron containing from 
O.I to 2 per cent of carbon in the combined form, which has been sub- 
mitted to complete fusion and poured into an ingot, or mould, for the 
production of a malleable or forgeable metal." 

" Mild steel contains about 0.2 per cent carbon; the element increasing 
as the harder varieties are approached, being highest of all in the tool 
steels." 

"The mechanical eflect of this carbon is shown in the following table."

"Within Hmits, an increase of carbon is accompanied by an increase in 
tenacity and a decrease in ductility, each increment of carbon showing 
distinctly these increases."

A steel containing o.io per cent carbon is unaffected in hardness by 
quenching, while one containing i per cent carbon becomes so hard under 
same conditions that it will scratch glass. 

Manganese is present in all commercial steels, varying from traces up 
to I per cent. It promotes soundness and neutralizes the effect of 
sulphur. 

SiHcon tends to the production of sound metal; while it is present in 
insignificant quantity in forging steel, in casting steels it may exist to the 
extent of 0.3 per cent. 

Phosphorus produces an exceedingly brittle, cold short metal. Pure 
steels contain 0.02 to 0.03 per cent. 

Usual specifications limit the phosphorus content to 0.06; at o.i the 
danger limit is reached. 

Steels containing appreciable amounts of sulphur are red short. In 
high quality of steels the sulphur content runs about o.oi per cent. 
Ordinary specifications place the limit at 0.04 per cent.

"Normal steels" represent the rolled bars heated to 1000" C. and 
cooled in air. 

"Comparing this table with the foregoing statements, it appears that 
as pearlite replaces ferrite, the maximum stress increases, continuing 
lo do so until a structure consisting of pearlite and very thin meshes of 
cementite is reached. Further increase in carbon resulting in greater 
dispersal of free cementite is associated with a decrease in maximum 
stress." 



Bessemer Process 

The Bessemer process consists in l)lowing a large volume of compressed 
air through a bath of molten pig iron; the oxygen of the air combining 
with carbon, silicon and manganese to form oxides. That combined 
with carbon passes off as gas while with silicon and manganese slags are 
formed. 

On removal of carbon, silicon and manganese, assuming that sulphur 
and phosphorus are low, a product resembling wrought iron is obtained. 
Meantime during the process of o.xidation, there is a rise in temperature 
sufficient to maintain mild steel in a fluid condition. The oxidation of 
silicon has the greatest effect in producing the rise in temperature. The 
irons must be low in sulphur and phosphorus, as these elements are not 
removed. An average content of 2.5 per cent silicon in the pig iron gives 
the best results. Higher than this, the heats are liable to require scrap- 
ping; while with a lower content of silicon there is danger of "cold 
blows." The melted metal is taken directly from the cupola, led by 
runners to the converter. 



The Baby Converter 



397 



The Baby Converter (Robert) 

This consists of a steel shell mounted on trunnions, so that it may be 
properly rotated. It is flattened on the back and lined with siUca brick 
or ganister. On the flattened side the tuyeres are introduced horizontally. 

The surface of the metal lies approximately at the bottom of the 
tuyeres so that the blast may impinge upon it. The blast is from 3 to 
4 poimds per square inch and means are provided for regulating it. The 
tuyeres being inchned radially, a rotary motion is imparted to the molten 
metal by the blast. 

In some cases the surface of the metal may be above the tuyere level, 
but seldom exceeds that by more than three or four inches. The high 
tuyere level permits some of the air to escape and burn on the surface 
of the bath ; carbon monoxide is formed in the bath by the oxidation of 
the carbon. 

The combustion of carbon monoxide gives rise to considerable heat, 
which is absorbed by the bath. To this reaction is due the higher tem- 
perature of the side blow converter. 

The Tropenas converter has a double row of tuyeres which are hori- 
zontal when the converter is vertical. They are not radially inclined 
as in the Robert. The surface of the metal is at the bottom edge of the 
lower row of tuyeres; the blast is always on the surface of the metal. 

When blowng the converter is slightly inchned, causing the direction 
of the tuyeres to slope towards the surface of the metal. During the 
early stage of the blow the lower tuyeres only are used; but on the 
appearance of the carbon flame the upper row is opened. The carbon 
monoxide, partly consumed by air from the lower tuyeres, is supplied 
with sufficient oxygen for complete combustion by that from the upper 
row, generating additional heat. 

Recarbonization is effected in the converter or in the ladles according 
to the character of the composition required. 

The chemical changes taking place in a two ton Tropenas converter 
are given as follows :

398 Steel (astinps in the Foundry 

Theoretically the feeder on a steel casting should sink due to shrinkage. 
If, however, instead of sinking, a rise is shown, this is clear evidence of 
internal unsoundncas or sponginess. To prevent this result one of the 
first essentials lies in having the steel thoroughly dead melted or " killed" 
before casting. A properly "killed" steel pours quietly and settles 
down gently in the mould. " Wild metal " acts in the opposite way and 
in some cases is rejjrescnted by an over-o.xidized metal. 

A distinction must l>c drawn between a "pipe" and a blow hole. 

The former is due entirely to contraction or shrinkage in passing from 
the liquid to the solid state and must be obviated by feeding. 

"Blow-holes" are entirely diiTerent from "pi{>es" and are formed by 
the liberation of gases absorbed during the melting process. 

In considering the character of these gases, ox>gcn naturally arises 
first, owing to the strong atTmity between iron and o.xygen. There is 
every reason to suppose, however, that the oxygen absorbed when the 
iron is molten, remains stable at low temperatures as an o.vide, and in 
the absence of a deoxidizing agent this ferrous o.xide is intermingled with 
the iron. O.xygenated steel is "dr>'" under the hammer and this con- 
dition is not necessarily due to blow-holes, but to "red-short" metal. 
Further, if free oxj-gen were present in ciuantitj' in the gas contained in 
a blow-hole, its skin would show an oxide film. 

The majority of blow-holes have bright surfaces; comparatively few 
show colored tints, ranging from a straw to a blue, due to oxidation. 
These colored blow-holes owe their o.xidized film, not to free oxygen 
liberated by the iron, but to air mechanically trapped during casting. 
Analyses of the gases seldom show more than traces of oxygen. Mr. E, 
Munker reports sixty-seven analyses of gases evolved by molten pig 
iron; the highest content of oxygen in the series is found at 0.8 per cent. 
Average analyses of gases in blow-holes give results of the following 
order: Percent 

Hydrogen 75 ' 

Nitrogen 23 

Carbon monoxide 2 

The actual amount of these gases absorbed depends to some extent 
on the temperature and composition of the bath. While fluid the gases 
are retained; but with a fall in temperature after casting they are evolved. 
Those set free by a fall in temperature bubble through the pasty mass, the 
trapped bubbles representing blow-holes in the casting. As the tem- 
perature continues to fall less movement is offered and the gases cannot 
force passages through the stiffening metal. Hence more bubbles are 
trapped. Finally a stage is reached at which the mass becomes rigid 
and the further formation of blow-holes becomes impossible. 



The Baby Converter 



399 



The author's conclusions from the investigations of Wahlberg are: 

"i. If no internal movement is possible in the soHdifying steel, the 
gas cannot disengage itself and so leads to the formation of blow-holes." 
. "2. The presence of silicon and manganese lead to the retention of 
the gases until sohdification is complete, hence preventing the formation 
of blow-holes." 

Methods of prevention include: 

"i. Liquid compression. 

"2. Additions to the steel of silicon, manganese or aluminum. Each 
of these elements acts powerfully on the oxygen or the oxides of iron, 
combining \vith the o.xygen to form slag." 

" Aluminum will remove carbonic oxide. There is, however, no reason 
to suppose that it will remove either hydrogen or nitrogen." 

"There are grounds for the belief that silicon, manganese and alum- 
inum increase the solvent power of the steel for hydrogen and nitrogen 
and that these gases remain dissolved." 

Brinell found that to produce an ingot of perfect density in the absence 
of sihcon, 1.66 per cent of manganese is necessary. In the absence of 
manganese 0.32 per cent silicon is required; and with no manganese or 
sihcon 0.0184 per cent of aluminum is sufficient to produce a perfectly 
sound ingot. Or e.xpressed in another way he states that aluminum is 
90 times as effectiv'e as manganese and 17.3 times as much so as sihcon, 
in removal of gases. 

Metalhc borides are suggested by Weber for removal of oxygen; these 
in conjunction with ferrotitanium tend to removal of nitrogen. 

The casting temperature exercises a great influence upon the properties 
of the metal. These are found to rise and fall with the temperature 
above and below the casting heat, as shown by the foUowing table:

These steels were poured from one large ladle at intervals of a few 
minutes. They are exactly of the same analysis; the bars were annealed 
together, each bar receiving exactly the same treatment, and apart from 
variation of casting temperatures, the conditions were the same for all. 
These results have been repeated many times. WTien the steel is poured 
at an excessive temperature, similar ones are always obtained.

Steel Castings in the Foundry 



Annealing 

The following is extracted from McWilliams and Longmuir's "Gen- 
eral Foundry Practice." 

Steel castings are usually annealed in the rcverbcratory gas furnace. 
The annealing recommended by Prof. Arnold for general work is to heat 
the castings up to about 950° C. keeping them at that temperature for 
about 70 hours, then luting the furnace and allowing them to cool slowly 
for 100 hours. 

The Clinch-Jones annealing furnace is highly spoken of, the controlling 
idea being that while the castings arc heated in a mufHe, by keen flames 
outside the walls of the muffle, virgin gas from the producer is allowed 
to come into the muffle and combine with all the oxygen that may enter, 
thus preventing it from getting to the castings to scale them by oxidizing 
at their surfaces. A cut of this oven is shown on page 266 (McW. & L.). 

The micrographs (McW. & L.) show the structural changes produced

The process of annealing must be varied to suit different compositions 
and purposes for which the steel is provided. 

Tropenas Process 

This process was patented by Alex. Tropenas of Paris in 1891; the 
first converter, 800 pounds capacity, was erected at the woriis of Edgar 
Allen & Co., Ltd., Shefi&eld, Eng., and introduced into the United States 



It produces hotter steel than any other process. The steel may be 
carried for considerable distances in hand ladles or shanks and poured 
into small castings. 

The Tropenas process consists in melting a calculated mixture in the 
cupola, transferring the metal to a special type of converter and its 
conversion to steel therein. The reactions are identical with those of 
the Bessemer and open hearth furnaces; the difference lies in the manner 
of producing these reactions. The converter is designed to conserve 
and increase the heat as much as possible and by preventing evolution 
in the bath, to keep out any gases not necessary for or caused by the 



403 



Stcfl Castings in the Foundry 



(Iccarburization, mechanical disturbance, gyration or ebullition of the 
luith is reduced to a minimum. 

The converter is in general similar to the Hcsscmcr converter, the 
particular difference lacing in the location and construction of the 
tuyeres. 

Figs. 215 and 216, pages 307 and 308 McW. & L. give fair illustra- 
tions of the device. The operation consists in melting the iron in the 
cupola precisely as for gray iron castings, except that enough for the 
charge must be gathered at the first lapping. The melted iron is then 
transferred to the con\crter and skimmed clear of slag. The converter 
is so adjusted that the \v\v\ of the metal reaches exactly to the lower edge 





Fig. 1 15. Fig. 116. 

of the bottom tuj'cres, so thai the blast will strike exactly upon the 
surface of the metal. The longitudinal axis of the converter should 
make an angle of from 5° to 8° with the vertical. This is a matter of 
importance and extreme care must be taken to obtain the correct position 
before applying the blast. The upper tuyeres are closed and the blast 
turned on with about 3 pounds pressure. 

If the composition of the iron is correct and it has been melted hot, 
sparks and smoke will be emitted from the con\'erter for about four 
minutes, then flame appears which gradually' increases in volume and 
brilliancy. After about ten minutes, what is known as "the boil" 
appears. In a few minutes this dies down considerably, and the blow 
remains quiescent for a time. Then the flame increases again, attains 
the maximum briihancy and finally dies down for the last time. 



Chemistry of the Process 403 

This is the end of the blow, the carbon, sihcon and manganese having 
been reduced to the lowest limits. 

The converter is now turned down, the blast shut off and a weighed 
amount of ferrosilicon, ferromanganese or silicon speigel added to 
recarbonize the steel to the desired point. The steel is now ready for 
casting. On account of its great fluidity and thin slag it may be poured 
over the lip of an ordinary ladle, instead of from one with a bottom pour. 

Claims made for this process. 

1. The form of the bottom of the converter gives a greater depth in 
proportion to the surface area and cubic contents than any other pneu- 
matic process, preventing the disturbance of the bath when blowing. 

2. The sjonmetrical position of the tuyeres with respect to the center 
tuyere prevents any gyrating or churning of the bath. This is directly 
opposed to all other processes. 

3. The special position of the bottom tuyeres during blowing, so that 
they are never below the surface of the bath, reduces the power necessary 
for blowing; as only enough air is introduced to make the combustion 
and not to support or agitate the bath. 

4. The oxidation of the metalloids takes place at the surface only, the 
reaction being transmitted from molecule to molecule without any 
mechanical disturbance. 

5. The addition of a second row of tuyeres completely burns the CO 
and H produced by the partial combustion of carbon and the decomposi- 
tion of moisture introduced with the blast and this increases the tem- 
perature of the bath by radiation. 

6. Very pure steel is obtained, as the slag and the iron are not mixed 
together. 

7. There is a minimum of waste on account of the bath being kept 
comparatively quiet. 

8. Less final addition is required on account of the purity of the steel 
and its freedom from oxides. 

Chemistry of the Process 

No fuel is needed in the converter. The increase in temperature after 
the melted metal is introduced is occasioned by the combustion of the 
metalloids during their removal. 

These elements are carbon, silicon and manganese. The oxidation 
of the silicon furnishes by far the greatest part of the useful heat. Prof. 
Ledebur has calculated that the rise in temperature of the bath due to 
the combustion of i per cent of each of the constituents is as follows: 
Silicon 300° C; phosphorus 183° C; manganese 69° C; iron 44° C; 
carbon 6° C. 



404 SfccI Castings in ihc I'oundry 

It is ncccssar)' that liie composition of the bath before blowing should 
be that which has been found to give the best rc-sulLs. 

Sulphur and phosphorus are as unaffected here as in any other add- 
lined furnace and the content of those elements in the finished steel will 
depend on how much the stock melted contained. 

The cupola mixture generally consists of low phosphorus pig iron and 
steel scrap, composed of runners, risers and waste from previous heats. 
As much as 50 per cent scrap may be carried successfully. The mixture 
must be made in such [iroportions that the analysis after melting will be: 

Per cent 

Silicon 1 . 90-2 . 25 

Manganese o. 60-1 . 00 

Carbon, about 3 00 

The result of low silicon is to make the blows colder; that of high 
silicon to make the blows unduly long and to increase the wear on the 
lining. 

Manganese should be kept within the limits specified. Low man- 
ganese tends to make the slag thick. High manganese makes the blow 
sloppy and corrodes the lining. 

During the first period of the blow, the silicon chiefly is oxidized and 
the carbon changed from graphitic to combined. The manganese is the 
most active clement in the middle of the blow, being most rapidly 
eliminated at the boil. The last period brings the carbon flame, and the 
indications are so plain that it is feasible to stop the blow before all the 
carbon is burned out, thereby reducing the amount of carburiser needed. 
In addition to these elements a certain amount of iron is unavoidably 
oxidized and the total loss of all elements included is about 12 per cent. 

Converter Linings 

The converter is generally lined with an acid or silica lining. ' Success- 
ful experiments have been made with a basic lining (dolomite), but it has 
not been developed commercially. Special shaped blocks to fit the 
converter or the regular standard shapes may be used. 

The material must be of the highest grade silica stock, burnt at the 
highest possible kiln temperature. It usually contains from 95 to 97 
per cent SiO.>, and is practically free from lime and magnesia. 

Another method in frequent use is to run ground ganister around a 
collapsible form. This probably is the cheapest method. Before making 
the first blow, the converter is made white hot by a coke or oil fire. 

Mr. J. S. Whitehouse of Columbus, Ohio, in a paper read before the 
American Foundrymen's Association, states that the claims which were 



Converter Linings 405 

made for the side blow converter, when first introduced into America 
were, to say the least, absurd. Many failures were made by employ- 
ing inexperienced workmen, who had only limited instructions from 
experts sent out with the apparatus and the results were frequently 
disastrous. 

A year's experience, at least, under proper instruction is required before 
a man can become a competent blower. He must be able to tell the 
temperature of the metal soon after the flame starts and to judge the 
silicon by the first period. He must tell when the blow is iinished from 
the slag as well as by the flame. He must know how to keep the lining 
in the best shape to get all the heat possible from the process, and the 
hundred little kinks of the trade, which, as a rule, the expert will never 
impart, but are obtained only from experience. 

A man with the above qualifications will blow with a loss of less than 
17 per cent — about 15 per cent. 

With proper blowing the main loss comes from the silicon in the charge, 
usually 2 per cent, which is oxidized together with iron and manganese 
to form the slag. 

Mr. Whitehouse learned to blow with 2 per cent sihcon, but for the 
past few years has been blowing iron, analyzing from 0.90 to 1.25 per 
cent silicon from the cupola, and often has been obliged to use scrap 
while blowing. 

There is an advantage in the increased amount of scrap which can be 
carried, as it cuts down the cupola' loss by increasing the amount of 
carbon in the charge. For example : He charges 50 per cent pig carrying 
about 3.75 per cent carbon and 50 per cent scrap having 0.25 per cent 
carbon. Tests from such iron from the cupola give 3.25 to 3.50 per cent 
carbon, showing a gain of 1.25 to 1.50 per cent carbon, taken from the 
coke, instead of purchased in the pig iron. 50 per cent scrap can be 
melted in the cupola, using only i2i/i per cent coke, but the blower must 
have a complete knowledge of cupola practice. Most blowers use too 
much volume and too high pressure of blast to get the best results. With 
low silicon the volume and pressure of blast must be low. No two blows 
will act ahke and require different treatment, which can be determined 
by the flame, but which he is unable to describe. 

It is as necessary for the blower to regulate the air valve to get proper 
combustion as it is for the melter to adjust air and gas valves. With 
ordinary care the steel produced in a converter is very uniform in carbon 
and silicon; ihore so, he thinks, than in the open hearth. The greatest 
variation seems to be in manganese. The temperature of the metal 
and the condition of the slag cause more variation in the converter than 
in the acid open hearth. It is possible to run several weeks without 



4o6 



Steel Castings in ilic I'liundry 



taking an analysis and find at the end of the run very little variation in 
tlif dements. 

While tliis is jjossible with the open hearth, it is not |)ratticed on 
account of the risk. It is, however, frequently done in converter practice. 
The method of making the molds is identical with that followed in the 
open-hearth practice.

An ordinary converter shop, with one two-ton converter is capable of 
producing between 100 and 150 tons of good castings per month, blowing 
three times a week. He concludes with saying that the management 
must be good and the salaries paid the officers as reasonable as possible, 
otherwise the shop is fore-doomed to failure, regardless of the quaUty of 
the product. 

At the Cincinnati Meeting of the American Foundrv-men's Associa- 
tion, Mr. Whitehouse, in reply to various inquiries, made the following 
statements: 



Converter Linings 



407 



When the flames show that the blow is getting very hot, scrap is 
thrown in at the top of the converter until it cools down. The scrap is 
as small as can be conveniently handled and is not preheated. 
. The blast pressure averages from 2.25 to 2.50 pounds. 




Fig. 118. — Pouring the Iron into the Converter before the Blow. 

Sometimes, after the silicon is reduced and during the blow, steel scrap 
is thrown into the converter. 

The carbon can be varied by the final additions. 

It is usual and customary to blow the heat down till the flame drops; 
the carbon is then about o.io per cent. The carbon is then raised by the 
addition of melted pig iron or pulverized coke. The carbon can be 
raised as much as desired. If more than 0.40 or 0.50 per cent carbon is 



4o8 



Steel Castings in the Foundry 




required, the blow is stoppcfl before completion. It is nistoraary to 
blow down to .o<_t ur o.io per cent carbon, then to recarbonize with ferro- 
mangancse, melted pig iron and s|)iegcleisen. I usually use coke. If 
ferromanganesc is melted in a small cuix)la, as has been done in the East, 
the loss is very heavy. The most economical practice is to throw the 
ferromanganesc into the converter at the end of the blow. The usual 
custom is to add ferromanganesc and then pig iron. 

"My practice is never to reline entirely. .\t the end of the heat day, 
the converter is cooled off, patched up, dried out and is then ready for 

the next day. Where the converter is 
ed until it is cut out, the lining re- 
moved and then renewed, there is a great 
loss of iron." 

The practice is to blow just at the sur- 
face, with the blast impinging slightly on 
he metal. During the blow the tuyeres 
arc submerged, and if the pressure is sud- 
ilcnly stopped for any cause the iron will 
run into the wind box. The converter is 
so placed that the blast will strike the 
surface of the metal at an angle of 175° 
to 171°. He does not use a second row 
of tuyeres. Upon starting to use the 
converter, there was an upper row of 
tuyeres, but they were subsequently dis- 
carded. The lower tuyeres furnish all 
the blast required. 

Formerly he used bull ladles in pour- 
ing small castings and experienced no 
trouble. At the present time, the entire 
heat, sometimes consisting of castings 
weighing less than thirty pounds, is poured with a thousand-pound 
ladle. 

The following extract is from the Foundry, Jan., 1910, describing the 
equipment of the recently erected steel foundry of the Vancouver En- 
gineering Works, Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. 

The cupola is the Standard Whiting t\pe, having a rated capacity of 
six to seven tons per hour. 

Iron is tapped from the cupola into a six-thousand-pound ladle, carried 
by a pneumatic crane. Two taps are made to obtain a full charge for 
the converter. 
The composition of the iron is as follows: Si. 1.80 to 2.00; S. 0.04;

Phos. 0.04; Mn. 0.60 to 1.50. The cupola charge is so proportioned as to 
give about one per cent manganese. Steel scrap is available as desired. 

The converter, of two-tons capacity, 
is of the standard Whiting type (Tro- 
penas) and is lined with ganister, sand 
and fireclay. This lining, if cared for, 
will give from 180 to 200 blows. The 
air pressure of blast to converter ranges 
from three to five pounds per square 
inch, regulated by valve on operator's 
platform. 

The blowing operation requires from 
15 [to 20 minutes, varying with the 
percentage of metalloids in the iron. 
The temperature of the bath depends 
upon the rapidity of the blow. 

Reduction in the weight of metal is about 18 per cent. 

The steel comes from the converter at 1700° C, insiuring sufficient 
fluidity to give sharp, sound castings of light section.

Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings 

With Remarks on the Small Open-Hearth Furnace 
By W. M. Care, New York City 

It is a fact that the open-hearth process for the manufacture of steel 
is gradually gaining ground, as can be proved by statistics. The reason 
for its supplanting other methods is mainly one of quahty. Further, the 
basic open-hearth process permits a mixture of pig iron and miscellaneous 
steel scrap of a lower grade and cheaper price than raw material necessary 
to other processes. 

With the foregoing facts in mind the author presents this article for 
the consideration of prospective investors in the manufacture of steel 
castings in small, moderate and large tonnages; to be more explicit, 
small tonnages are capacities of melting units in one-half, one and two 
tons per heat. ISIoderate tonnages are capacities of furnaces of two to 
five tons per heat, and large tonnages are capacities from ten to twenty- 
five tons per heat. There are thus offered possible outputs to meet 
almost any requirements. 

In presenting the claims, it is with the recognition of the following 
advantages : 

1. The small capacity furnaces cost less to install than any other 
steel making devices excepting only crucible melting furnaces. 

2. The economy in operation of open-hearth furnaces in any capacity 
over that of any other steel-making process. 

3. The certainty of results, the greater degree of control in operation 
and the reduction of the personal equation to the lowest possible expres- 



412 



Slccl Castings in the Foundry 



It is generally known to the foundrymcn that the largest production 
of steel castings comes through oj^-n-hearth fumacxs of capacities uf 
five to twenty-five tons per heat. Such practice is established and 
retjuires constant demand to be profital^le, and investment of consider- 
al;lc capital varying with the size of the plant. It has Ijcen thought that 
capacities of less than five tons per heat arc not j>ossible by open-luarlh 
methods, and engineers generally have dissuaded those who wish to 












engage in the manufacture of steel castings either for their own con- 
sumption or the trade from using open-hearth methods, since up till 
quite recently the tendency has been rather to increase the capacity of 
the open hearth, supposedly for economical reasons rather than to build 
small units with less capacities. 

The author, however, has had the opportunity to demonstrate the 
possibilities of the miniature open hearth and has found from actual 
practice that it is economical, and comparing operation costs with stand- 



Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings 413 

ard capacity furnaces, bears equally well in economy. This fact is 
somewhat of an innovation, but nevertheless true, and it can be said 
that the operating cost of the miniature open hearth is less than that 
of any tyj^e of steel-producing unit or process, making steel in equal 
quantity. 

To assist those who may not be familiar with an open-hearth furnace 
and its operation, a study of the diagram herewith, (Fig. 122) given may 
be instructive. The upper part of the furnace is represented in sectional 
elevation. The structure is built of refractory bricks and bound se- 
curely with structural steel beams and plates at certain points not 
shown in the diagram. The lower part of the furnace, usually below 
the charging floor level or carried below the shop level, consists of the 
chambers, connecting flues leading to a reversing valve and thence to a 
regenerator stack. Referring again to the main body of the furnace it 
will be noticed that the hearth, which is practically a shallow dish Uned 
with "silica" sand is fused into one solid mass at a high temperature at 
the time of what is known as "making bottom." This is the laboratory 
where the raw material is melted and refined to steel of any desired 
composition. In outline the practice is as follows and refers to the opera- 
tion of a miniature open hearth fired with fuel-oil being recommended 
in preference to producer gas in capacities of less than five tons per 
heat. 

After the furnace has been brought up to a working temperature — • 
white heat — a mi.xture of acid pig iron and low phosphorus steel scrap 
usually in the projjortions, one-third pig and two-thirds scrap, is charged 
into the furnace, adding the pig iron first, and when that becomes 
molten, following with the scrap. The whole mass subsequently becomes 
liquid by means of the oil flame passing above it. At this stage the 
temperature of the furnace has been lessened through the addition of 
the cold stock, but it will still be at a temperature above that required 
to melt pig-iron. But in order to elevate the temperature above that 
required to melt steel and have it in condition to pour, the advantage 
of the principle of regeneration is available. This consists in returning 
to the furnace waste heat which in other types of furnaces escapes to the 
stack. Without a system of regeneration it is not possible to reach a 
proper steel casting temperature; that is to say, a reverberatory furnace 
without regeneration gives a temperature, (where the combustion of the 
fuel is supported by cold air) , less than that required to properly liquefy 
steel, but with the principle of regeneration applied to such a furnace, 
high temperatures are readily reached. 

To understand this principle we will follow the course of the flame of 
the burning oil as indicated by the arrows in the diagram. Beginning 



414 Steel CaslinRs in ihv Foundn' 

111 the rinht liand end oil is delivered to the burner which is shown 
surrounded witii a water tooled casing It) protect the burner fittings. 
The oil is delivered cither by gravity or pump pressure, but Ixiforc 
reaching the end of the burner it is atomized or vaporized by air under 
pressure. This air is designated as primary air and ix;rfomi.s liltle or 
no j)arl in supporting combustion of the oil vapor, and the quantity of 
air delivered in excess above the amount necessary to promote combus- 
tion of the oil is known as secondary air. The secondary air enters the 
reversing valve shown at the stack connection, passes through the right 
luind regenerator, enters the uptakes below the water c<M)le<l burner 
casing, performs its function and passes along the roof of the furnace, in 
part, and the remainder, mixed with the products of combustion with 
the strata of flame playing above the bath, enters the downtakc at the 
left hand end of the furnace and in its passage to the stack gives up 
the major portion of its heat to a large quantity of brick work piled 
within the chamber. WTien the waste gases have passed through the 
reversing valve and entered the stack they have just about enough heat 
to induce the necessarj' draft. Now, after an inter\'al of twenty to 
thirty minutes the right hand burner may be shut ofT, but not withdrawn 
from the furnace; the reversing valve is thrown and the oil and primary 
air turned on at the left hand end of the furnace. The secondan.' air 
will then be diverted by the reversing valve to flow through the left hand 
regenerator or checker chamber, and passing through innumerable pas- 
sages in that set of checkers absorbs a large quantity of heat radiating 
from the glowing bricks which became heated in the first instance by the 
outgoing gases during a previous cycle of operation. This radiated heat 
regenerating the secondary air will be added to the temperature gener- 
ated by the burning fuel and the products of combustion will accordingly 
have an increased quantity of heat to impart to the checker work at 
the outgoing or right hand end. In other words, whatever temperature 
may be carried in by the secondary air will be equivalent to art incr&ise 
in eCTiciency of the burning fuel. Successive reversals of the fuel, pri- 
mary and secondary air produce constantly increasing increments in 
flame temperatures below the melting points of the refractor)' brick 
works. 

We have seen what can be accomplished by storing up and restoring 
to the furnace waste heat from the products of coml)ustion. producing 
the effect of a higher possible temperature than in any tx^pe of melting 
furnace. In addition to this effect another one is quite active and that 
is reflection of heat from the walls and roof of the furnace upon the surface 
of the bath of metal. This latter effect, known as radio-actixnty, is more 
proDOUQced in a narrow melting chamber than in a wider one and conse- 



Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings 415 

quently the result will be two factors, one a decreasing fuel consumption 
and the other the possibility of superheating steel in a miniature open- 
hearth. This fact has not been recognized heretofore because most open- 
hearth furnaces are fired with producer gas, and since that fuel requires 
peculiar furnace construction to get the best results in burning it, it has 
not been found possible to make use of such fuel in a comparatively short 
furnace hearth and therefore all furnaces designed to use that fuel must 
have a comparatively long hearth tending mainly in the direction of 
increased capacities rather than decreased. On the other hand, the length 
of the hearth is not restricted where oil can be substituted for producer 
gas and therefore it has been found possible to operate an open-hearth 
furnace as small as 350 pounds capacity per heat. Thus a new field is 
opened to make steel by the open-hearth process. 

Referring again to the operating method, we saw where the bath of 
metal was molten and at a moderate temperature. This temperature 
was due to the fact that the metal was highly carburized, since the 
presence of carbon lowers the melting point of iron. We saw how it was 
possible to gradually increase the temperature of the furnace by the 
regeneration of the secondary air, and with that constant elevation of 
temperature, dormant chemical actions will be set up. The first effect 
will be an oxidization of the silicon occurring mostly on the surface of 
the metal by the oxidizing action of the flame. The product would be 
silica, which combines with whatever oxide of iron might be present in 
the bath of metal. The combination would form a slag of comparatively 
fight weight that would rise to the surface and cover the bath. The slag 
is shown in the diagram by the heavy black line. This layer of slag 
prevents the metal below from direct contact with the flame. After the 
removal of the silicon the next action will be the removal of the carbon. 
This action is a gas-forming one and will cause a bubbhng or boil through- 
out the bath. The action can be augmented from time to time by the 
addition of iron oxide in the form of iron ore. As the decarburization 
progresses test plugs are taken from time to time, the operator judging 
the amount of carbon in the bath by their fracture and malleability. 
When the carbon has decreased to a predetermined point, the boil may 
be stopped or killed by deoxidizing agents such as ferrosilicon and ferro- 
manganese in properly weighed amounts. The metal can then be trans- 
ferred to molds. This method as outUned refers to the acid process. 
In it the elements sulphur and phosphorus are not removed. The basic 
process consists of a hearth fining made of magnesite. Such a lining 
permits an addition of limestone to form a slag which will absorb the two 
elements and make a purer steel, chemically speaking, than the acid 
process, and at the same time allow the use of cheaper and irregular

raw materials against the acid i)roccss with strictly limited chemical 
comjxjsition concerning liic t\v<i elements mentioned. 

With open-hearlii furnaces desi^ne<l to use i)roducer gas and which 
rarely k<) i)el(nv five tons caijacity it is not possible to adapt them to 
intermittent operation. Kven in the smaller producer-gas fired furnaces 
the roof span is considerable, resulting in heavy stresses on the side walls. 
These stresses will vary as the furnace is heated and cooled, and if such 
alternations are frccjuent there is danger of collapse of the furnace. It 
becomes necessary then to maintain them continuously at a steady tem- 
perature. Urdcss there should be demand for regular tonnage the fuel 
consumption during idle periods would lie a constant expense. 

In miniature open-hearth furnaces, owing to the comparatively narrow 
hearth chamber, the roof span is of course lessened and therefore what- 
ever expansion or contraction therein following heatings and coolings, 
will result in comparatively slight stresses, and these results decrease in 
effect with the lessened capacity furnaces, and they therefore lend 
themselves to intermittent operation with greater ease and lessened 
liability of repairs. The miniature open hearth is most satisfactory in 
the rolling tjpe with the body cylindrical, so that the stresses even 
though slight will be evenly distributed, whereas in a rectangular form 
the roof will always rest and thrust upon the inside walls. In fact the 
miniature open hearth is not recommended to be built in the stationary 
type. 

In conclusion the miniature open hearth is not costly to install, is 
comparatively simple to operate, gives results equal to standard open- 
hearth practice, makes hotter steel than the regular op)en hearth and 
can show costs equally as low per pound of molten metal in the ladle.

CHAPTER XVIII 
FOUNDRY FUELS (Cupola) 

The fuels available for melting iron in the cupola are anthracite coal 
and coke. 

Anthracite Coal 

Lehigh lump is the best coal for the purpose. It produces a hot iron 
and melts it rapidly. On account of the cost as compared with coke, it 
is now little used in districts removed from the anthracite region. 

A mixture of anthracite and coke, particularly for the bed, gives most 
excellent results, especially for prolonged heats. 

Coke 

When bitumin dus coal is exposed to a red heat for a prolonged period 
with total or partial exclusion of air, the volatile matter is driven off and 
the residuum is coke, containing more or less impurities. The coal used 
is of the coking variety and to produce good foundry coke should be low 
in sulphur and ash. Seventy-two hom: Bee Hive Coke is most generally 
used by foundrymen. This has a hard, cellular, columnar structure, 
with a gray, silvery surface. The smooth, glistening appearance foimd 
in much of it is due to quenching in the furnace. (Weight about 25 
pounds to cubic foot.) There will be found in each carload of coke 
"black-tops" and "black-butts"; the appearance of the former is due 
to deposits of carbon from the imperfect combustion of the gases at the 
top of the furnace. They in no way affect the value of the fuel. Black 
butts, however, come from incomplete burning and contain unconverted 
coal. These should be accepted only in limited quantities. 

The following are analyses from different sections:

Specific Rravily iivcruKcs 1.272. Coke will absorb from 10 to 30 per 
cent of lis wcIkIu in moisture, dcpcndinj; on exfKWure. After exposure 
to a hard storm the increase in weight may easily be 15 per cent. 

Less pressure of air, more volume anfl larger tuyere area are required 
when melting with coke than with anthracite coal. 

The following specifications for coke from the J. I. Case Co. are given 
by Mr. Scott. 

Good clean 72-hour coke, massive and free from granulation, dust and 
cinder. Per cent 

Moisture not over i . 50 

Volatile matter not over 3- 5° 

Fi.xcd carbon not under 86.00 

Sulphur not over 0.75 

Ash not over 1 1 ■ 50 

Coke which has over 0.85 sulphur, 0.05 phosphorus, less than 85 
fixed carbon or less than 5.00 ash will be rejected. 

Good foundry coke should be high in carbon, low in sulphur, have 
good columnar structure, and there should not be a large percentage of 
small pieces in a carload. The product should be uniform. 

By-Product Coke 

Certain chemical works, in the distillation of bituminous coal for 
ammonia, manufacture coke as a by-product. This, when especially 
prepared for foundrj' purposes, gives excellent results. It is darker, 
harder and more irregular in form than beehive coke. It is high in 
carbon and low in sulphur, makes a very hot fire and will melt more 
iron than an equal weight of beehive. The short description of the 
process of making this coke by Mr. W. J. Keep is given herewith. 

"The retort oven is a closed chamber from 15 to 24 inches in ^\^dth, 
5 to 8 feet in height and from 25 to 45 feet long. From 25 to 50 of these 
ovens are placed in a batterj'. 

"The coal is charged through three or more openings in the top and 
levelled off to within a foot of the roof, after which the oven is carefully 
closed and sealed, in order to exclude the air. The oven is heated by a 
portion of the gas driven off in the process of coking. This is not burned 
in the oven itself, but in flues constructed in their walls. The heat is 
conducted through the walls of these combustion flues to the charges of 
coal and distillation thereof is started immediately. 

"The gas which is driven off is conducted through an apparatus in 
which the tar and ammonia are recovered; after which a portion of the 
gas is returned to be burned in the oven flues, and the babnce disposed 
of as local conditions determine. 



Effect of Atmospheric Moisture upon Coke 427 

"Distillation proceeds from the side walls toward the middle of the 
oven and the gas is probably driven toward the center of the oven, where 
it rises, forming a cleavage plane the whole length of the oven. When 
the process is completed, which takes place in from 20 to 36 hours, 
depending upon the width of the oven and the temperature maintained, 
the whole charge is pushed out by a steam or electric ram and is immedi- 
ately quenched. The oven is at once closed and, without any loss of 
heat from the oven itself, is again charged with coal. 

"On account of the cleavage plane through the center of the charge, 
no piece of coke can be longer than half the width of the oven." 

"Owing to the complete exclusion of air, there is no combustion in the 
oven; and as the temperature of the oven, when the coal is charged, is 
very high, there is a considerable decomposition of volatile matter with 
consequent deposition of carbon upon the coking charge. As a result 
the yield of coke is a little higher than the theoretical yield, as cal- 
culated from the analysis of the coal. Quenching the coke outside the 
ovens mars its appearance somewhat, destroying its bright, silvery 
lustre, but probably results in carrying ofif an appreciable quantity of 
sulphur." 

"Coke made from the same coal will have a slightly higher percentage 
of fixed carbon and a slightly lower percentage of ash than if made in a 
retort oven." 

"The quality of retort oven coke depends upon the skill of the operator, 
upon the method of preparing the coal and more than all, upon the 
quality of the coal used. 

He further says that after having satisfied himself that it was good 
coke, "in spite of its very bad appearance," by the use of several car- 
loads, "from that time to this we have never had a pound of other 
coke. All through 1902 the coke was so uniform and satisfactory that 
we melted 9 pounds of iron with i pound of coke." 

Effect of Atmospheric Moisture upon Coke 

Under normal conditions, at a temperature of 70° F., 1000 cubic feet 
of air, equal in weight to about 75 pounds, contains i pound of moisture. 
Each pound of moisture requires the use of o.io additional pounds of 
coke. Therefore, every additional i.o per cent to the moisture of the 
atmosphere requires 0.03 additional pounds of coke to melt one ton of 
iron. 

From 20 to 40 per cent of the sulphur in the coke is taken up by the 
iron in melting. This may be largely reduced by the liberal use of 
limestone. 



428 Foundry Iiiels 

Specifications for Foundry Cokk Suggested by 
Dr. Richaru Moldenke 

Coke bought under these specifications should l>c massive, in large 
pieces and as free as possible from black ends and cinders. 

Samplitig 

Each carload or its equivalent shall be considered as a unit, and 
sampled by taking from the exposed surface at least one piece for each 
ton, so as to fairly represent the shipment. These samples, properly 
broken down and ground to the fineness of coarse sawdust, well mixed 
and dried before analysis, shall be used as a basis for the payment of the 
shipment. In case of disagreement between buyer and seller an indepen- 
dent chemist, mutually agreed upon, shall be employed to sample and 
analyze the coke, the cost to be Ijorne by the parly at fault. 

Base Analysis 

The following analysis, representing an average grade of foundry coke 
capable of being made in any of the districts supplying foundries, shall 
be considered the base, premiums and penalties to be calculated thereon 
as determined by the analysis on an agreed base price: 

Volatile matter r . 00 Ash 12. 00 

Fi.xed carbon 85 . 50 Sulphur i . 10 

Penalties and Bonuses 

Moisture. — Payment shall be made on shipments on the basis of 
"dry coke." The weight received shall, therefore, be corrected by 
deducting the water contained. (Note. — Coke producers should add 
sufficient coke to their tonnage shipments to make up for the water 
included, as shown by their own determinations.) 

Volatile Matter. — For every 0.50 or fraction thereof, above the i.oo 
allowed, deduct . . cents from the price. Over 2.50 rejects the shipment 
at the option of the purchaser. 

Fixed Carbon. — For every i.oo or fraction thereof, above 85.50 add, 
and for every i.oo or fraction thereof below 85.50, deduct . . cents. 
Below 78.50 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. 

Ash. — For every 0.50 or fraction thereof below 12.00, add, and for 
every 0.50 or fraction thereof above 12.00 deduct . . cents from the price. 
Above 15.00 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. 

Sulphur. — For every o.io or fraction thereof below i.io add, and for 
ever>' o.io or fraction thereof above, deduct . . cents from the price. 
Above 1.30 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. 



Fluxes 429 

Shatter Test 

On arrival of the shipment the coke shall be subjected to a shatter 
.test, as described below. The percentage of fine coke thus determined, 
above 5 per cent of the coke, shall be deducted from the amount of coke 
to be paid for (after allowing for the water) , and paid at fine coke prices 
previously agreed upon. Above 25 per cent fine coke rejects the ship- 
ment at the option of the purchaser. Fine coke shall be coke that passes 
through a wire screen with square holes 2 inches in the clear. 

The apparatus for making the shatter test should be a box capable 
of holding at least 100 pounds coke, supported with the bottom 6 feet 
above a cast-iron plate. The doors on the bottom of the box shall be 
so hinged and latched that they will swing freely away when opened and 
will not impede the fall of the coke. Boards shall be put around the 
cast iron plate so that no coke may be lost. 

A sample of approximately 50 pounds is taken at random from the 
car, using a iH inch tine fork, and placed in the box without attempt to 
arrange it therein. The entire material shall be dropped four times upon 
the cast iron plate, the small material and the dust being returned with 
the large coke each time. 

After the fourth drop the material is screened as above given, the 
screen to be in horizontal position, shaken once only, and no attempt 
made to put the small pieces through specially. The coke remaining 
shall be weighed and the percentage of the fine coke determined. 

If the sum of the weights indicates a loss of over i per cent the test shall 
be rejected and a new one made. 

Rejection by reason of failure to pass the shatter test shall not take 
place until at least two check tests have been made. 

Fluxes 

The object of a flux is to render fusible the ash from the fuel, sand 
and rust from the iron, and dirt of any sort, found in the cupola, into 
slag and to put it in condition for easy removal. ■ 

Slag always forms to a greater or less extent where iron is melted, 
but unless a flux is present, it will not be sufficient in volume to give 
clean iron. Limestone and fluor spar are the most common fluxes in 
use. There are many compounds furnished for the purpose, but a 
limestone containing 90 per cent or more carbonate of lime, or oyster 
shells, furnish as good fluxing material as can be procured. 

The following is copied from a paper by Mr. N. W. Shed, presented 
to the Cleveland meeting of the American Foundrymen's Association 
at June, 1906. 



430 Foundry Fuels 

"The value of fluxes in llie cujxila is not generally appreciated by 
foundrymen. Hundreds of cupolas are not slagged at all and the 
cinder dumps show an immense amount of iron actually wasted. Not 
only is iron lost by the large amount combined with the cinders, but the 
more or less variable cinder encloses small masses and shots of iron 
which cannot be se{)aralcd. It is a fact that the cinder dumps of many 
foundries contain more iron than many workable deposits of iron ore, 
and if these accumulations could be obtained by the German blast fur- 
naces they would be quickly utilized. 

Another value of flu.xcs is their cleansing action on the cujxila. 
A well slagged cupola has no hanging masses of iron and cinder which 
require laborious chipping out. The time and labor saved in conse- 
quence is an item that is well worth considering. In the running of 
heavy tonnage from a single cupola, fluxes are indispensable. It would 
be well nigh impossible to run large heats in the same cupolas without 
using a good flux. 

The value of fluxes being generally admitted, the question arises, 
what flux is best to use and how much? 

There are two available fluxes for the cupola. These are limestone 
and fluor spar. 

Fluor spar is much advertised as a flux and the promoters claim that 
it gives marvellous properties to the iron. The glowing advertisements 
have evidently deceived the U. S. Geological Survey, for the reports 
of the Survey speak of its great use and value in foundr>' practice." 

The practical test of fluor spar, made by the writer showed it to be 
an inferior flux. It did not remove sulphur and the properties of the 
iron were not improved in the least by its use. There is no doubt of 
the value of fluor spar in certain branches of metallurgy, but the writer 
has failed to find a single supporter of its value in the foundry. 

Limestone is far cheaper than fluor spar and far better as a flux. 
It makes little difference what form the limestone has so long as it is 
pure. It ma)' be marble, soft limestone, hard limestone, oyster shells, 
or mussel shells, but it must be good. A limestone containing over 
3 per cent silica is poor stuff, and one containing any considerable 
amount of clay should be rejected. There should be at least 51 per cent 
of lime present. The sulphur should be below i to 2 per cent. The 
phosphorus is unimportant. .\ magncsian limestone would do as well 
as an ordinarj' limestone for the cupola. 

The amount of limestone to be used is variable, depending: 

First: on the amount of silica in the coke ash. 

Second: on the amount of silica or sand adhering to the pig or scrap. 

Third: on the amount of silica to be carried by the slag. 



Fluxes 431 

The amount of limestone required to flux the coke ash can be 
figured according to the ordinary method of calculating blast furnace 
charges. 

The amount of sand on the pig and scrap is so variable that it is 
difficult to know just the additional amount of limestone to add. 

The most practical and easily fusible slag has been found to be a 
monosilicate, which means having equal amounts of silica and alkaline 
bases. Having these variables in mind, we find it a good rule to figure 
the limestone on the weight of the coke, using 25 per cent limestone. 

For example, if the charge of coke on the bed is 4000 pounds, we 
use looc pounds of limestone. If the next charge of coke is 1000 pounds, 
we would use 250 pounds of limestone. This amount of limestone will 
flux any ordinary coke ash with the average amount of sand on pig 
and scrap. If we know the amoimt of sand on the pig to be excessive 
we figure 30 per cent limestone on the weight of the coke. 

With a low coke ash, machine pig and clean scrap, the limestone 
may be reduced to 20 per cent and make a good cinder. Many foundr>'- 
men are afraid to use limestone, fearing some injury to the iron. This 
is a superstition for lime has no effect on the iron. 

There is usually a slight reduction in the amount of sulphur, but 
owing to the great amount of iron present, the iron absorbs a large 
amount of sulphur from the coke. 

If more than 30 per cent is required to make a good cinder and clear 
the cupola it is evident that either the coke is very high in ash, or else 
the limestone is high in silica. In the latter case a large amount of 
lime is used in fluxing its own silica. 

On account of the frequent variations in the stock, it is a good plan 
to have coke, limestone and cinder analyzed occasionally. 

The cinder usually tells about the condition of the furnace. A light 
brown indicates a small amount of iron and the iron unoxidized. A 
black cinder indicates a large amount of iron and some oxidation. A 
shiny metallic lustre shows an excess of oxide of iron due to over-blow- 
ing or lack of coke. Practically all the lime cinders from a cupola are 
glossy in appearance, while the cinders with no lime are usually dull 
and earthy. Occasionally a cinder is found full of bubbles, the color 
is usually black and shots of iron are found through the frothy slag. 
This is called foaming cinder, and is made when the last few charges 
are at the bottom of the cupola. This cinder often rises to the charging 
door and flows out over the floor. The iron cast at this time is hard 
and is low in manganese, silica and carbon. 

With foaming slag a dense smoke of reddish brown color pours out 
of the stack. 



432 



Foundry lucls 



Analysis of the foaming slag shows the iron to be in an oxidized 
condition and in large amount. Sometimes the iron will run 30 per 
cent in frothy cinder, sometimes t)nly 12 per rent. The oxidizetl cinder 
and the red smoke show that iron is being rapidly burned in the cupola, 
and the action going on is very much like the action in a Bessemer con- 
verter when it is tilted back a little and IjJown to gain heat by burning 
the iron. The cinder is oxidized and the red smoke is produced in the 
same way. In both cases the iron is burnt to oxide, which is cjuickly 
taken up by the slag. The oxide in the slag acts upon the carlxjn in 
the iron forming a large amount of carbonic oxide, which rises through 
the cinder blowing it to a frothy condition. 

There are two ways of avoiding this troublesome condition. If 
possible, reduce the blast. If the blast cannot be reduced, add more 
coke. The presence of a good body of coke will stop the burning of the 
iron, and frothing does not take place. In some cases the loss of sili- 
con is very serious, and to insure good castings it is necessary to add 
crushed silicon metal and ferro-manganese to the stream of iron as it 
runs from the spout. 

Analysis of cupola slags where no flux is used show from 14 to 28 per 
cent ferrous oxide. These slags contain 2 to 4 per cent of shot iron 
mingled with the cinder. This proves that some of the iron must be 
lost in order to flux the coke ash and sand. If we use limestone as a 
flux the amount of iron in the cinder is rarely over 3 per cent, showing 
that the lime fluxes the ash and sand leaxing the iron for the ladle. 
And the question is simplj' whether we will use iron as a flux at ?i8.oo 
per ton or limestone at $1.50 per ton. 

Another point in favor of the limestone is the clean cupola men- 
tioned in the first part of this paper. 

Following will be found an analysis of cupola cinder using lime."

Sufl'icient flux must be usc'l to obUiin a fluid slag to carry off the 
silica from the iron and ashes and to reduce the oxidation as much as 
possible. 

With low blast pressure the slag must be thin, to run off readily. 

When slag wool is frcelj' produced, the indication is that the slagging 
is satisfactory. 

A good slag contains approximately 40 per cent of silica and from 28 
to 30 per cent lime. If the slag is thin, the metallic iron will fall through 
it readily and an increase of lime tends to decrease the oxide of iron. 

Rusty scrap produces a dark-colored slag caused by the oxide of 
iron. 

A large body of slag is favorable to desulphurization, as the amount 
of sulphur which can be taken up by the slag is limited. At high tem{H;r- 
aturcs sulphur tends to combine with the slag and under these conditions 
it has not its greatest affinity for iron. 

Fire Brick and Fire Clay 
A good brick has a light yellow color, a coarse and open structure, 
uniform throughout. It should be burned to the limit of contractility. 
The clay from which it is made should contain as little iron, lime, potash 
and soda as possible.

Clay loses its plasticity at a temperature above 100° C, and it cannot again 
be restored.

Fire bricks should stand continuous exposure to high temperatures 
of the furnace without decomposition or softening; should stand up 
under considerable pressure without distortion or fracture; should be 
unaffected by sudden and considerable variations of temperature; should 
not be affected by contact with heated fuel.

Fire brick should be regular in shape and uniform in character. The 
size of the ordinary straight fire brick is 9 by 4I/2 by 21/2 inches, and the 
weight is 7 pounds. 

Cupola brick are usually 4 inches thick and 6 inches wide radially. 

Slabs and blocks are made in sizes up to 12 by 48 by 6 inches. 

Silica Brick 
Silica brick are used for resisting very high temperatures. They are 
composed mostly of silica in combination with alkaline matter. 
They are somewhat fragile and need careful handling.

Canister is made from an argillaceous sandstone, is a close-grained 
dark-colored rock containing no mica. There is present sufficient clay 
to cause the particles to become adherent under ramming, after the rock 
has been ground. The rock is ground to a coarse powder and some- 
times if the binding properties are insufficient a little milk of lime is 
added during the grinding process. The composition of ganister will

Fire Sand 

An exceedingly refractory sand containing sometimes as much as 
97 per cent silica. It is used in the setting of silica brick and in making 
the hearths of furnaces. 

Pure silica melts at 1830° C. 



436 Foundry I ucls 

MagttcsiU 

Magncsite contains a small percentage of lime and ferrous silioites 
with seqicntinc. The ferrous silicates are separated out; thereupon 
calcining, magnesia is obtained. The calcined material is then mixed 
with from 15 to 30 per cent of the raw material, and from 10 to 15 per 
cent water, then moulded into bricks, dried and burned in the ordinary 
manner. 

Bauxite 

This is a hydrated aluminous ferric o.xidc, containing usually about 
60 per cent of alumina, i to 3 per cent of silica, 20 per cent ferrous oxide 
and from 15 to 20 per cent water. It is very refractory and, notwith- 
standing the large amount of ferrous oxide contained, is practically 
infusible. 

Calcined bauxite is mixed with from 6 to 8 per cent of clay, or other 
binding material and plumbago, then molded into bricks. 

WTien heated the plumbago reduces the iron of the bauxite, producing 
a most refractory substance. 

Such bricks are far more durable than the best fire bricks. They resist 
the action of the basic slags, as well as that of intense heat. 

They become extremely hard after exposure to continued heat. 



CHAPTER XIX 
THE CUPOLA 

The cupola is used in ordinary foundry practice in preference to the 
air furnace, not only on account of its simplicity, but because it melts 
more rapidly and economically. There are many forms manufactured. 
All of them are good, but it is doubtful if any furnishes better results 
than have been obtained from the ordinary old-fashioned cupola so 
commonly in use, such as is shown in the sketch below. 

For the advantages of the various styles offered for sale, the reader is 
referred to the manufacturers' catalogues. 

The cupola is essentially a vertical hollow cylinder, lined with refrac- 
tory material, having the top open and the bottom closed, with pro- 
vision for admission of the charges of fuel and iron part way up on the 
side, also for admission of air below the charges and for drawing off 
the melted metal at the bottom. 

The cupola is divided into five zones. 

First: The Crucible, extending from sand bottom to the tuyeres. 

Second: The Tuyere Zone, extending from the crucible to melting 
zone. 

Third: The Melting Zone, reaching from the tuyere zone to a point 
about 20 inches above the tuyeres. 

Fourth: The Charging Zone, extending from melting zone to charging 
door. 

Fifth: Stack, from charging door to top of furnace. 

The Lining 

The lining is usually made of two thicknesses of arch brick placed 
on end with the flat sides in radial planes. Several standard rectangular 
brick are placed in each ring or course to facilitate the removal of the 
rings when necessary. Angle iron rings are riveted to the shell at 
intervals of about six feet, to support the upper sections, when a lower 
one is removed for repairs. 

The outer lining is kept about 34 inch away from the shell to pro- 
vide for expansion, and the interval is filled in loosely with sand and 
broken brick. 

437 



4i8 



The Cupola 



The distance from the sand bottom to the charging door should be 
about 3!v to 4 times the inside diameter of the lining. For cupolas 




""TT^TT^^^^T^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!^ 



Fig. 123. 



under 48 inches, one door is sutTicient; for larger sizes two are more 
convenient. The doors may be hung on hinges or shde on a circular 
track above the openings. It is not necessary that they should be lined. 



Tuyeres 



439 



At the level of the charging door the lining should be covered with a 
cast-iron ring to protect it during the charging. 

The bricks are laid with very close joints in mortar composed of 
fire clay and sand. The interior lining is daubed with a mixture of one- 
half fire clay and three-fourths sharp sand for a thickness of three- 
fourths inch. Any joints are well filled. A handful of salt to a pail of 
daubing will cause the interior of the shell to be glazed over and will 
reduce the amount of chipping required. Washing the daubing with 
strong brine and iire clay serves the same purpose. 

Tuyeres 

The tuyeres may be circular or rectangular in section with the bottoms 
inclining slightly toward the interior of the shell so that the drippings 
may not run into the wind box. Castings for tuyeres should not be 
over ^8 inch thick. 

The area of the tuyeres is made from lo to 25 per cent that of the 
inside lining at the tuyeres; 20 per cent gives good results. As a matter 
of fact the tuyeres cannot be made too large. A continuous tuyere 
having an opening about 2 inches in height and extending all around the 
lining is frequently used. 

An excellent plan is to have an air chamber 
all around the outer lining and inside of the 
shell in the vicinity of the tuyeres; at the 
level of the bottom of the tuyeres place a 
cast-iron ring, in sections, on top of the 
double lining. On this, at intervals of from 
7 to 10 inches, so as to divide the circum- 
ference of the interior of the lining into equal 
parts, place hollow iron blocks 2 inches wide, 
3 inches high and 7 inches long. On top of the 
blocks place another segmental ring, which 
should be kept 3 or more inches away from the interior of the shell. 
Upon this ring the upper courses of the lining are built. This forms 
a nearly continuous tuyere, broken only by the iron blocks. 

This construction involves a contraction of the lining at the tuyeres 
of about 8 inches. The bottom of the tuyeres should be from 10 to 
20 inches above the sand bottom, depending upon the quantity of 
melted iron to be collected before tapping. \\^here the iron is allowed 
to run continuously from the spout, as in stove and other foundries 
doing light work, the tuyeres may be even lower than 10 inches. 

Frequently an additional row of tuyeres, having about one-eighth of the 
main row in area, is placed just below the melting zone. These upper 




Fig. 124. 



440 riu- Cu[M)la 

tuyeres should be arranRcd so ih.il the admission of air through them 
ma,\' be regulated. The object is to supply the necessary air to convert 
\vhatc\er carbonic oxide is formed in the tuyere zone into carlwnic acid 
at the melting zone. The heat de\eloped at these upper tuyeres is such 
that the lining near them is often badly cut, therefore, care must be 
exercised as to the admission of air at this point. 

A row of adjustaljle tuyeres about lo inches above the melting zone 
is most effective in producing the combustion within the charges of 
carbonic o.xide, forced above that zone, effecting thereby not only a 
saving of fuel, but the suppression of flame at the charging doors. The 
admission of air above the melting zone must be carefully regulated so 
that only enough will enter to burn the carbonic oxide. 

The "Castings" for September, iyo8, illustrates a cupola designed 
by Mr. J. C. Knoeppel, which presents an admirable arrangement of 
tuyeres and provides for the object above outlined. 

Two or more of the lower tuyeres, should have slight depressions 
in the bottoms, to permit the slag or iron, should either reach that 
level, to run out upon sheet lead plates placed in the wind box in 
the line of these depressions. By the melting of these plates, and 
the discharge through the resulting holes, warning is given to the 
cupola tender, and the accumulation of slag or iron in the wind box 
avoided. 

Unless the blast is much higher than good management permits, it 
will not penetrate the fuel in the cupola for more than 30 inches radially. 
Therefore, where the inside diameter of the cupola is over 6c inches, 
it should be contracted at the tuyeres to 60 inches or less diameter; 
or in place of this a center blast may be used. Large cupolas are fre- 
quently made oval in section with the same object in view. 

In the wind box directly opposite each tuyere there should be a small 
door 5 inches in diameter, fastened with a thumb screw, for access to 
the tuyeres, to remove any stoppages in front of them; each door should 
be provided with a peek hole 1'.. inches in diameter covered with mica. 

The Breast 

The breast is made by taking a mixture of one-half fire clay and one- 
half molding sand, thoroughly mixed and just moist enough to be 
kneaded. A quantity of this is placed around a bar lU inches in diam- 
eter and made into cylindrical shape, 4 or 5 inches in diameter and about 
6 inches long. This is placed in the opening for the breast, and the bar, 
while held in a nearly horizontal position, forced down until its bottom 
is on a line with the sand bottom, and ^i inch above the upper side of 



Sand Bottom 441 

lining to trough. The inner end of the clay cylinder should be flush 
with the inside of the cupola lining. 

Ram hard around this cylinder with molding sand and fill opening 
for breast completely. Care must be taken that this clay cylinder is 
well secured in place. Remove the forming bar and enlarge the hole 
toward inside of cupola, leaving only about 3 inches in length of the 
original diameter from the front. 

The slag hole is made up in same way, but should be only one and a 
half inches long. A core about 2H inches in diameter may be inserted 
for the slag hole, and this dug out, when tapping for slag, until opening 
is sufficiently large, say about i inch diameter. 

It sometimes happens that the breast gives way during the heat. 
In such an event, the blast is shut off and the cupola drained of iron and 
slag. The defective part of the breast is removed, and replaced with 
stopping clay, which is hammered with the side of a bar, well against 
the surrounding portion of the breast. The remaining hole is then filled 
with clay, carefully packed so as not to be driven to the interior of the 
cupola. Through this clay a tap hole is made by gently inserting the 
tapping bar and enlarging the hole after the ball of clay has been pene- 
trated. In from fifteen to twenty minutes the clay will have been 
baked hard. The blast can then be turned on and melting resumed. 
This operation must be conducted with great care, as the operator is 
in danger of being severely burned. 

Swab the lining from the bottom to 2 feet above the tuyeres with 
clay wash and salt, and black wash the tapping hole formed as above 
described. 

Sand Bottom 

The sand bottom is made from gangway sand passed through a No. 4 
riddle. This bottom should be about 8 inches thick. It must be well 
rammed, especially next to the lining, where it should join with a liberal 
fillet. It must not be too wet. Care must be taken not to ram the 
bottom so hard that the iron will not lie on it quietly. The bottom 
should slope in all directions towards the tapping hole, the slope being 
one inch in four feet, and it should reach the tapping hole exactly on a 
level with its lower surface. 

Black wash the bottom, build a light wood fire and dry out the lining 
thoroughly. The bottom doors should have a dozen or more %-inch 
holes drilled through them to allow any moisture in the bottom to 
escape. The doors are held in place by an iron post under the center, 
which can readily be knocked out to drop the bottom. The breast 
should be made up before the bottom. 



443 Till' ("uiKila 

Zones of Cupola 

The crucible zone extends from the s;in(l lx»Uom to the tuyeres. 
The object of this zone is to hold the melted iron and slag. If the tap 
hole is kept open continuously, this zone may not be over 4 to 6 inches 
in depth from sand bottom to bottom of tuyeres. If it is to hold a 
large quantity of melted iron, the tuyeres must be correspondingly 
high. Metal can be melted at a higher temperature with low tuyeres, 
(collecting it in a ladlcj, than by holding it in the cupola. 

Tuyere Zone 

This is where the blast enters in contact with the fuel. Here com- 
bustion begins. This zone is confined to the area of the tuyeres. The 
combined area of the tuyeres should be about one-fifth that of a section of 
the cupola at this point, and should also largely exceed that of the outlet 
of the blower. It is important to keep the tuyeres as low as the condi- 
tions of the foundry, as to amount of melted iron to be collected at one 
tap, will permit. With low tuyeres the iron is hotter, there is less oxida- 
tion and the fuel required on the bed is less. 

Melting Zone 

The melting zone is the space immediately above the tuyeres. It 
extends upward from 20 to 30 inches, depending upon the pressure and 
volume of the blast, increasing in height with increased pressure. No 
iron is melted above or below it. The melting occurs through the upper 
4 to 6 inches of that zone. 

Charging Zone 

This zone is that part containing the charges of iron and coke, and 
extends from the melting zone to charging door. 

The stack is the continuation of the cupola from charging door through 
the roof. Contracting the stack above the charging door has no influ- 
ence upon the elTicicncy of the cupola. 

The spouts should be lined with fire brick. Above the fire brick 
bottom at center of trough, there should be iM inches of moulding 
sand. From the center the sand should slope rapidly each way to 
sides. The sand lining of trough at center should be ?4 inch below 
the tap hole. After lining, trough should be black washed and dried. 
Stopping material is made of one-half fire clay and one-half moulding 
sand. 

It is the common practice to leave the top hole open until iron begins 



Chemical Reactions in Cupola 443 

to run freely, in order to prevent freezing at the hole. This causes 
the oxidizing of considerable metal, and is unnecessary. The following 
method may be pursued. Just before the blast goes on, close up the 
inner end of the tap hole with a ball of greasy waste, then ram the 
remainder of the hole full of moulding sand. This is easily removed 
with the tapping bar, and does away with all the annoyance of escaping 
blast and sparks. 

Chemical Reactions in the Ordinary Cupola with 
Single Row of Tuyeres 

When the air blast comes in contact with the burning coke, its oxygen 
unites with the carbon of the coke to form carbonic acid (CO2), as the 
result of complete combustion. As the temperature above the tuyeres 
increases to that necessary for melting iron, part of the CO2 seizes upon 
the incandescent coke, takes up another equivalent of carbon and is 
converted into carbonic oxide (CO). If the supply of air is in excess 
of that required, the CO, being combustible gas, takes up another 
equivalent of oxygen and is burned to CO2. 

Again some of the CO2, parting with an equivalent of oxygen to the 
iron for such oxidation as occurs, or by the acquisition of another equiva- 
lent of carbon from the coke; or by both, is reconverted into CO. These 
reactions take place at or near the melting zone. 

After passing that zone, no more air is supplied, and the products of 
combustion, consisting of CO and CO2 pass up the stack without further 
change until reaching the charging door. Here air is admitted, the 
CO is supplied with oxygen and is burned to CO2. 

If the air supplied at the tuyeres is insufficient for complete combus- 
tion, the evolution of CO is increased and the efi5ciency of the furnace 
reduced. On the other hand, an excessive supply of air is objectionable, 
as a reducing flame (that from CO) is desirable to prevent oxidation 
of the metal. 

For the complete combustion of one pound of carbon, there is required 
12 pounds, or about 150 cubic feet of air, developing 14,500 B.t.u.; but 
the combustion of one pound of carbon to CO requires only one-half the 
air, and the resulting heat is 4500 B.t.u.; hence for whatever portion of 
the fuel is burned to CO, there is a loss of over two-thirds its heat- 
producing value. 

For the purpose of saving this waste heat, an upper row of tuyeres, 
just below the melting zone, is employed; and to utilize the heat which 
escapes above the melting zone, tuyeres have bee;n introduced with 
good results, at from 5 to 10 inches above that zone. By the use of

ihu latter tuyeres the heat developed is al>sorbed by the charRCs in the 
stack, and the flames at charging dcK)r are suppressed. Where such 
tuyeres arc used, they must be provided with means for easily regulating 
the admission of air. 

The following table taken from West's Moulders' Te.xt Hook gives 
the quantity of air required for the combustion of one pound each of 
coke and coal.

By reason of the contact of the molten iron with the fuel, changes in 
atmospheric conditions, the amount of air used, and other conditions, 
the same mixture may produce different kinds of castings at different 
times; and there may also be variations in the same heat. 



Chemical Reactions in the Cupola 

The complete combustion of one pound of carbon to COj requires: 
2.66 pounds of oxygen 
or 12.05 pounds of air 

and develops 14,500 B.t.u. 

The burning of one pound of carbon to CO requires: 
1.33 pounds of oxygen 
or 6.00 pounds of air 

and develops 4500 B.t.u. 

Therefore one pound of coke, having 86 per cent fixed carbon requires 
for complete combustion 

2.66 X 0.86 = 2.29 pounds o.xygen 
or 12.00 X 0.86 = 10.32 pounds air 

and develops 14,500 X 0.86 = 12,470 B.t.u. 

The 10.32 pounds of air less 2.29 pounds oxygen leave 8.03 nitro- 
gen. 



Wind Box 445 

Taking the specific heat of oxygen at 0.218, carbon at 0.217, nitrogen 
at 0.244. The temperature resulting from the complete combustion of 
one pound of coke to CO2 is 

^^'^70 -47i8°F. 



0.217 X 0.86 + 0.218 X 2.28 + 0.244 X 8.03 
That resulting from the combustion of one pound of coke to CO is 

3870 ^ O p 

0.217 X 0.86 + 0.218 X 1. 15 + 0.244 X 4.015 

Hence for every pound of coke burned to CO, instead of CO2, there is 
a loss of 8600 B.t.u., and a reduction of the resulting temperature of 
1983° F. Taking the specific heat of cast iron at the average of temper- 
atures between 2120° and 2650° F. as 0.169, ^■nd the latent heat of fusion 
as 88 B.t.u., and assuming the temperature of the escaping gases at 
1330°, then the heat wasted is (i33o°-7o°) X (0.217 X 0.86 + 0.218 
X 2.28 + 0.244 X 8.03) equals 3330 B.t.u.; and the heat available for 
melting iron is 12,470 — 3330 = 9140 B.t.u. for each pound of coke 
having 86 per cent fixed carbon. 

For I pound of iron melted at 2650° F. (or 2580° F. above atmosphere) 
the number of heat units required is 2580 X 0.17 = 439 to which must 
be added the latent heat of fusion giving 439 + 88 = 527 B.t.u. 

Therefore, = 17.34 pounds of iron, which should be melted by 

one pound of coke, if all the carbon was converted into CO2 and the gases 
escaped at 1330° F.; also neglecting the heat lost in the slag and by 
radiation. 

Wind Box 

The area of cross section of the wind box should be three or four times 
that of the combined area of the tuyeres, in order that there may be 
sufficient air reservoir to permit a steady pressure. There should be 
two or more doors in the box for ready access in cleaning out when 
necessary; and also for admission of air when the wood fire is started. 
As before stated, there should be small doors opposite each tuyere. 

The blast pipe ought, if the situation will permit, to enter the box on 
a tangent, and box should be continuous. If it is necessary to divide 
it into two boxes, on account of the tapping or slag holes, there must, 
then, of comse, be a blast pipe for each box and they should enter the 
boxes vertically. 

The bottom of the box should be provided with at least two small 
openings opposite the alarm tuyeres, which are covered with sheet lead. 
These should be so placed that slag or iron running through them will 
be at once seen by the tapper.

The Cupola 



The manufacturing of cuixjlas for the trade has become an important 
industry, and although the designs of the various makers diflcr largely 
in details, the essential features in all are the same. 

Perhaps the names best known to the foundry industry are: CoUiau, 
Calumet, Newtcn, Whiting. 

All of these give good results. Tor special information reference 
should be made to the manufacturers' catalogues. 

The melting capacities based on 30,000 cubic feet of air per ton of 
iron are given in the following table.

A wind gauge should be attached to the wind lx)x at a convenient place. The 
charging platform should not be more than 24 inches below the bottom of charging 
door for sizes up to the 48 inch; for the larger sizes not over 6 to 8 inches. 

The Blast 

The air for the blast is supplied Ijy centrifugal blowers of the Sturte- 
vant type, or by Positive Pressure Blowers of the Root t^pe. Both are 
cfi'icicnt, and it does not appear that either has any special advantage 
not possessed by the other. 

T'or successful melting a large volume of air at low pressure is required. 
I'rom 8 to 10 ounces pressure will usually be found sulTicient; in no case 
should it be allowed to exceed 14 ounces. 

As a rule 30,000 cubic feet of air per ton of iron are allowed. This is 
somewhat too small, especially if the air contains much moisture; 
35,000 cubic feet per ton is better practice. 

\\'ith blast at low pressure and with high temperature in the furnace, 
iron may gain in carbon during the process of melting. The reverse 
may occur, however, under contrary conditions. O.xidation increases 
with the intensity of the blast. 



The Blast 



447 



The castings produced by low blast pressure are softer and stronger, 
the loss by oxidation is less, there is less slag, less expenditure of power 
and less injiu-y to the lining of the cupola. 

Coke requires less pressure and more volume of air, as well as greater 
tuyere area than coal. 

Low pressure, large volume, large tuyere area and good fluxing tend to 
prevent choking at the tuyeres. However, too much air must be avoided 
as it reduces the temperature of the furnace and may produce dull iron. 

The main blast pipe should be as short, and the tuyeres as few as 
possible. Its diameter should be greater than the outlet of the blower. 
For each turn allow three feet in length of pipe. The minimum radius 
of the turn should not be less than the diameter of the pipe. It should 
be provided with a wind gate, and, where a pressure blower is used, an 
escape valve, both under control of the melter. The wind gate should 
be kept closed until after the blower is started to prevent gas from 
collecting in the blast pipe. For the same reason, the blower should, if 
possible, be located lower than the wind box. 

At the commencement, the blast should be low, and gradually in- 
creased to the maximum as the heat progresses, then dropped toward 
its close. 

The friction of air in pipes varies inversely as their diameters, directly 
as the squares of the velocities, and as the lengths. The table below 
shows the loss in pressure and the loss in horse power by friction of air 
in pipes loo feet long; corresponding losses for other lengths can readily 
be calculated therefrom.

Dimensions, Etc., of Cupolas

The quantities of air in the left-hand column of each division indicate 
the capacity of the given blower when working under pressures of 4, 
8, 12 and 16 ounces. Thus a No. 6 blower will force 2678 cubic feet of 
air at 8 ounces pressure through 50 feet of i2;i-inch pipe with a loss of 
H ounce pressure. If it is desired to force the air 300 feet without an 
increased loss by friction, the pipe must be enlarged to 17H inches 
diameter. 

The table below gives the important dimensions, distribution of 
charges and melting capacities of cupolas from 24 inches to 84 inches 
diameter inside of lining. The table is based upon the consumption 
of 35,000 cubic feet of air per ton of iron and represents the best aver- 
age practice. 

Higher fuel ratios are frequently realized and the foundrymen must 
vary the fuel and air supply as the conditions indicate. It is unwise, 
however, to strive for high fuel ratio at the risk of a dull heat. The 
loss on castings from one melt may far outweigh the saving on coke, 
as between the ratios of 10 to i and 9 to i, for many heats. Coke is 
one of the cheapest articles about the foundry; while hot, clean iron is 
an item of the highest importance. 

In general the cupola should furnish 20 pounds of melted iron per 
minute per square foot of area of the melting zone.

Charging and Melting 

In preparing the cupwla for raclLing, a bed of shavings is spread evenly 
over the bottom; on this a layer of kindling wood; then enough cord 
wood cut in short lengths to come well abo\e the tuyeres. The doors 
in the wind box or, two or more of those covering the tuyeres, should be 
left open to admit air to the fire. The wood should be covered with coke 
for a depth of from 12 to 15 inches. Where wood is scarce or expensive, 
the coke may be lighted directly with a kerosene oil blow torch. To use 
the torch place two strips of boards 3" X i" on edge from the tap 
hole to center of cupola. Then place other strips of same size crosswise 
of the bottom forming a shallow trough about 6 inches wide in the shape 
of a T. Large pieces of coke are placed over the trough to form a 
cover, and on top of this coke is spread uniformly for a depth of about 
15 inches. The torch is then applied at the tap hole. 

After the fire is lighted and the top of the coke bed becomes red, 
enough coke is added to bring the top of the bed 20 inches abo\-c the 
tuyeres when the wood has burned out. 

The necessary amount of coke for bottom is determined by gauging 
from the charging door. The proper depth of bed is a matter of great 
importance. Too much is as bad as too little. With too much coke, 
the melting will be slow and dull; with too little the iron after commence- 
ment of heat becomes dull, the cupola is bunged up and the bottom 
may have to be dropped. 



The Charging Floor 453 

There should be sufficient coke to locate the top of the melting zone 
about 20 inches above the tuyeres, and the subsequent charges of coke 
should be just enough to maintain this position. 

With proper depth of bed, the molten iron will appear at the spout in 
from 8 to 10 minutes after the commencement of the blast. The first 
and subsequent charges of iron should be of the same weight, and these 
should be small. 

The amount of coke between each charge of the iron and the preceding 
one should be 10 per cent of the iron. In many foundries the coke 
between the charges is made less than this, but 10 per cent is good 
practice. It is not the best policy to run the risk of making a poor heat 
by cutting down the coke. The charges should be continued as indi- 
cated until the cupola is filled to the charging door. 

In charging care must be taken to distribute both iron and coke uni- 
formly. 

The pig iron (broken) should be charged first, beginning at the lining 
and proceeding toward the center, pigs should be placed sidewise to the 
lining. Next comes the scrap; if there are large pieces, they should be 
placed in the center of the cupola with the pig surrounding them. 

The iron must be kept well around the lining and care exercised to 
avoid cavities. If the scrap is fine, it must not be charged so closely as 
to impede the blast. After the iron comes the coke, which must be 
evenly distributed throughout. After the second or third charge, hme- 
stone, broken into pieces about iH cube, is added. From 25 to 40 
pounds of limestone per ton of iron is used according to the character 
of pig and scrap as to sand and rust, and to that of coke as to ash. 

The top of the bed should not be permitted to drop more than 6 or 
8 inches during the heat. This determines the weight of iron for each 
charge as well as that of the coke, the latter having a depth of 6 or 8 
inches. The weights of all the materials going into the cupola should be 
kept separately. The melter should be furnished each day with a charging 
schedule giving the composition and the weight of each charge. 

The fire should be started about two hours before the blast is put on, 
to allow the charges in the stack to become well heated. The openings 
in the wind box are closed immediately after starting the blast. 

The egg-shaped section at the melting zone, which the cupola gradually 
assumes by use, should be maintained. 

The Charging Floor 

The charging floor should be large enough, if circumstances permit, to 
accommodate all the materials for the heat. Each charge of pig iron 
and scrap, after weighing, should be piled by itself and in the order in 



454 



The Cu[K;I;i 



wliicli it is to be used. The proj)cr amount of coke for each charge is 
placed in oins or baskets. In larger works where the material is brought 

to the platform on charging cars, the 
cars are arranged so as to reach the 
cupola in pro[)cr order. 

The cuts show two different meth- 
ods of charging at large foundries. 
.At one the charging is done by hand 
and at the other by machine. 

While the material is handled more 
ra|)idly and at less expense by the 
latter method, it is doubtful if the 
saving effected compensates for irregular melting and lack of uniformity 
in product, which is likely to result from unequal distribution of the 
charges.

Melting Losses 

Melting losses in a well-managed cupola should not exceed 4 per cent 
for the annual average. Instances are known where the losses for long 
periods were not over 2 per cent. The following records are taken from 
the report of the secretary' of the American Foundry men's .Association, 
and cover the results from 41 cupolas. The percentage of castings 
made and the returns are calculated from the quantities given and added 
to each table.

Melting Ratio 461 

The figures in the preceding table are to be taken as approximations. 
The loss may be reduced in practice by careful management. 

When the weight of the coke on the bed, and the weights of the iron 
' and coke in each charge are known, to determine the necessary amount 
of iron which must be melted to produce a desired melting ratio: 

Let X = the total iron; 
Y = the total coke; 
A = weight of coke on bed; 
B = weight of coke in each charge; 
C = weight of iron in each charge; 
D = the desired melting ratio. 

(i) Then j? = ^, ^ ^ D *°^^^ ^°^^ ^^^ 

(3) and -p; = the number of charges. 
The total coke is found in equation (4) 

(4) F = (|-i)5+4. 

From equations (2) and (4) X = -—^ :f—--^ . (5) 

Having found the total amount of iron, the total coke and number of 
charges are found from (2) and (3). 

By applying these formulas to a 54-inch cupola as given in table on 
pp. 451-2 the required weight of iron to be melted to produce a melting 
ratio of 9 to I may be found. 

Melting Ratio 

Weight of coke on bed ^ = 1100 poimds 

Weight of coke to each charge B = 180 pounds 

Weight of iron to each charge C = 1900 pounds 

Required melting ratio D = 9 to i pounds 

From equation (5) 

1900X9(1100-180) 

1900 — 9 X 180 0,0, 

Y == — '- = 6243 pounds. 

9 

And the number of charges 

56,185 

^-^ — ^ = 29.57. 
1900 ^^' 

Coke may be charged from dumps, as it lan be uniformly spread. 



462 The Cuf)ola 

The cupola should be kept full to the charging door until all the iron 
is in. J.atcT the sweepings from the charging platform may be thrown 
on. The platform should, if possible, be large enough to accommo<Jale 
the materials for the entire melt. Kach charge of pig and scrap should 
be weighed and piled by itself; the coke kept in convenient charging 
buckets, and the broken limestone in a bin from which it may be charged 
by measure, above the coke. 

Appliances about Cupola 

The conditions will indicate the necessity for elevator and charging 
cars. In every foundry yard there should be a cinder mill and scrap 
breaker. In many foundries the cinders arc frequently ground in the 
tumbling barrel. It is purely a matter of convenience; but locating 
the cinder mill in the yard promotes cleanliness, especially when broken 
fire brick are ground. 

The cinder mill is made up of cast-iron staves from 8 to 10 inches wide 
and of convenient length, placed about polygonal heads; the latter 
mounted on trunnions, and the whole rotated slowly by any suitable 
means. The staves are so placed that there is not over an eighth of an 
inch opening at the joints, in order that the shot iron may not escape. 
^Magnetic and hydraulic separators are frequently used to recover the 
shot, and they cflect large savings. 

The scrap breaker is located conveniently to the cars, or placed 
where heavy scrap is received. It consists of a derrick and ball with 
hoisting apparatus. The height of the derrick should be from 30 to 
40 feet and the ball should weigh 2500 to 3000 pounds, both depending 
1 on the probable dimensions of the 

largest scrap. 

The sketch below shows a simple 
and effective device for tripping the 
ball. 

Ladles 

Hand ladies, and shank ladles 
holding 200 pounds or less, are best 
made of sheet steel, as they are 
much lighter and are easily repaired. 
These, as well as larger sizes, to be 
handled by cranes, are furnished by 
the foundr>- supply houses. 
It is usually best to tap into a fore ladle. This is kept under the 
spout, and has sufficient capacity to hold one entire charge. From it 



2) 



c 



The Bod Stick 463 

the smaller ladles are filled. By making large tappings, the various 
grades of iron in the cupola become thoroughly mixed in the fore ladle. 
The iron in the ladle is kept hot by covering the surface with charcoal 
or slacked lime. 

In English practice the Fore Hearth is largely used instead of the fore 
ladle, but its use has not met with favor in the United States. An illus- 
tration of this arrangement is shown on page 248 of McWilliams and 
Longmuir's General Foundry Practice. 

Lining of Ladles 

The ladles are lined with a mixture of one-half fire clay and one-half 
sharp sand. With small ladles the lining is from •% inch to 114 inches 
thick on the bottom and gradually tapers to yi to % inch thick at the 
top. 

Large ladles have first a lining of fire brick, then the clay daubing. 

After the linings are completed they must be thoroughly baked either 
by placing the ladles in an oven or by building wood fires in them. It 
is customary to reline the small ladles after each heat. The larger ones, 
if completely drained of iron, may, by chipping out and patching, be 
made to last over many heats. The skulls from ladles are rattled with 
the cinders. Shanks for ladles holding 100 pounds and upwards are 
commonly made with single and double ends. The better practice is 
to make both ends double, the helper's end having a swivel joint. With 
this type of shank the helper can use both hands in carrying and two 
men can handle a 200-pound ladle easily. The iron bottoms of the 
larger ladles should have 10 or i2-?i-inch holes through them to permit 
the escape of moisture. 

Tapping Bar 

The tapping bar is usually made of i-inch gas pipe, having a long 
tapered point (24 inches in length) welded to it at one end. Frequently 
the tapper stands along one side of the spout, and opens the tap hole 
with a single-handed bar. He carefully picks away the center of the 
bod, imtil a hole is made through it, then enlarges the hole to % inch, or 
an inch, according to the stream desired. 

The Bod Stick 

The bod stick is an iron bar about i inch in diameter, having at one 
end a flat disc 2 k' inches in diameter. To this disc is attached the 
clay bod, used in stopping up the tap hole. In stopping the stream 
of iron, the bod, placed above the stream at the tap hole, is forced down-

wards into the hole squeezing off the stream. Many severe burns have 
been caused by stopping directly against the stream. 

The spout is sometimes made with a side opening to carr>- off slag 
running on the stream of iron. This opening is made about the middle 
of the spout, and the trough in that vicinit)' is somewhat increased in 
width. About 2 inches below the side opening a fire brick is placed 
across the trough, leaving room below it for the iron to pass, but 
being low enough to skim off the slag, which runs out of the side at 
the opening. A swinging spout is occasionally used. This is himg 
on a pivot below the spout proper, and in a transverse direction-

While the stream is running it can be tipped so as to let the iron 
run into a ladle at either side. In rapid melting this obviates stop- 
ping up when ladles are changed. 



Applying Metalloids in Ladle 

Where metalloids are added to the iron, if the amount to be used is 
sprinkled into the stream as it flows through the spout, a more intimate 
mixture is obtained than results from placing the material in the ladle 
and drawing the iron on to it.

The C'u|)olu 



Cranes 

The e<iuipmcnt of cranes as to size, style and motive power is indi- 
oitcd entirely by the character and volume of production. Ample and 
convenient lioistin^ facilities are absolutely essential. A mistake is 
seldom made in pro\iding cranes of too great cajjacity. 

Most of the modern foundries are fitted with electric traveling cranes, 
which not only have access to the cupola, but sweep over the moulding 
floors. In addition to the electric crane, post and wall cranes are 
supplied for special requirements. There should be a small jib crane 
attached to the cupola for handling the fore ladle. 

The manufacture of cranes has become a specialty, and the reader is 
referred to manufacturers' catalogues for special information. 



Spill Bed 

In many foundries the excess iron, and iron on the bench floor, is 
frequently dumped into holes in the sand heaps or floors. This is a 
slovenly practice and greatly injures the sand. 

.\ very convenient and simple spill bed is sho\^^l in Fig. 129. This 
is so made that the iron is collected in pieces weighing from 60 pounds to 
80 pounds, of convenient size to be handled in charging. 

A small bed of same character serves an excellent purpose when placed 
near the snap floors.

By a little care all the excess iron may be put through beds as above 
and sent to the cupola in good shape for melting. 

The usual practice is to allow the bottom to remain where it drops 
until the next morning, simply wetting it thoroughly. 

Below is shown a sketch of a large rake. If the bottom is dropped 
on this and the mass pulled out from under the cupola (by means of a

chain passing through a snatch block to the crane) and then wetted 
down, it will be found in much better shape for picking over in the 
morning. 

The pieces of unconsumed coke should be picked out and used in 
core ovens, or as part of the last charge of coke, in the cupola. Little 
savings of this kind, although small of themselves, amount to an impor- 
tant item in the course of the year, particularly if the operations are 
extensive. 



CHArTKR XX 
MOULDING SAND 

MouLDiNr. sand contains from 75 to 85 i)er cent silica, with varying 
proportions of alumina, magnesia, lime and iron. 
The essential properties arc: 

Cohesion, Refractoriness, 

Permeability, Durability, 

Porosity, Texture. 

Cohesion or Bonding Power 

Moulding sand must possess suflkient cohesion, not only to remain 
in position after ramming, but to resist the pressure of the molten 
metal, and its abraiding action while being poured. 

Pure sand has no cohesive strength, but clay (double silicate of 
alumina) has, and as moist sands cohere more strongly than dr>', 
the bonding power must depend on the amount of clayey matter and 
water contained. The moisture must not be in excess, otherwise the 
sand will pack too densely. 

Permeability and Porosity 

Permeability is the yirojurty which sand possesses of allowing liquids 
or gases to filter through it, and depends on the size of the pores. 
By porosity is meant the volume of pore space. 
These properties are not the same. A sand may contain a few large 
openings through which the liquids or gases may readily escape and yet 
have a small pore space. On the other hand, the total pore sjjace may 
be large, but by reason of the small size of the pores, permeability by 
either liquids or gases might be dilTicult. 
The permeability of sand may be influenced: 
By the tightness of packing; 
By the size of the grains; 
By the fluxing elements in the sand. 
By tamping or packing, the space occupied by a given weight of 
sand may be reduced, as the grains are forced into their closest arrange- 
ment producing the minimum pore space. Fine-grained sands have 
larger pore space than coarse-grained. 

468 



Texture 469 

If silt or clay are present, and segregated, the sand will pack more 
closely than if the grains are cemented together in the form of com- 
poimd grains. In the latter case the permeability and porosity would 
be larger than if the grains were separate. 

The decreased permeability under increased tamping explains why 
some good sands behave badly. Permeability of sand is also influenced 
by the amount of water present. The relation between permeability 
and fluxing impurities is shown in the process of casting. If the clayey 
particles filling the interstices of the sand fuse when heated by the metal, 
their coalescence in melting will close up the pores to some extent. For 
this reason, in part, a high percentage of fluxing impurities is undesirable. 

The proper permeability of a moulding sand is a matter of vital 
importance. A pathway must be opened for the escape of the gases 
to avoid blowing. The finer the sand the lower its permeability. 

Refractoriness 

A moulding sand must be sufficiently refractory to prevent complete 
fusion in contact with molten metal. Highly siliceous sands are, there- 
fore, the more desirable. At the same time a high percentage of silica is 
gained at the expense of alumina and a consequent loss of bonding power. 
Generally silica should not exceed 85 per cent. Silica is refractory, does 
not shrink when heated, but has no cohesive nor bonding power. 

Alumina, a most important component, is present in moulding sands 
in amounts varying from 4 to 12 per cent. It is refractory, has great 
bonding power, but shrinks greatly when heated. Too high a percentage 
of alumina makes the sand impermeable. 

Durability 

Sands begin to lose some of their desirable qualities after one or 
more heats and become dead or rotten. The injury to the sand arises 
from its dehydration, or loss of combined water by the heat of the molten 
metal, whereby its bonding power is destroyed. The water of com- 
bination cannot be restored. 

The amoimt of sand burned is a layer of varying thickness next to 
the casting. 

Texture 

By texture is meant the percentage of grains of different sizes. This 
is determined by passing the sand through a series of sieves of decreas- 
ing mesh and noting the percentage remaining on each sieve. Mr. W. 
G. Scott pursues the following method: 

"Ten grams of sand are placed on the 100- mesh sieve, together with 
ten Me steel balls, and shaken with a circular motion for one minute.

The sand passing through is weighed and credited to the loo-mesh sieve. 
That which remains, together with the balls, is emptied on the 80-mesh 
sieve and the operation repeated. In like manner sieves of varying 
size up to 20 mesh are used. The preceding table shows the texture or 
sand from different localities." 

Lime is a fluxing element. If present as a carbonate, it loses its 
carbonic acid under heat, and in excessive amount the gas causes the 
mould to flake or crumble. Caustic lime fluxes and forms slag on sur- 
face of castings. 

Magnesia is also a flux, and to a modified extent has the effect of lime. 

Iron, as a carbonate or an oxide, if present in the mould near the 
casting, is converted into ferrous oxide, which is a flux. 

Combined water is present in all sands containing clay, carbonate of 
lime or gypsum. It is driven off at a low red heat and increases the 
porosity of the sand. 

Moulding sands are not always used alone. One or more grades are 
frequently mixed together. Blending is extensively practiced at the 
pit as well as at the foundry. In addition to blending to increase cer- 
tain physical properties, foreign substances, such as ground coal, graph- 
ite, molasses, flour, beer, linseed oil or cinders are used, either to increase 
the bonding power or permeability of the material. A sand deficient 
in its natural condition may be greatly improved by "doctoring." 
The sand from any one deposit does not always run uniformly, and with- 
out previous careful examination of the shipments, unfavorable results 
may appear in the foundry. 

The following table, taken from "The Iron Age," gives the analysis 
of eight different samples.

Sands which contain the largest percentage of silica, suflScient alumina 
to impart cohesiveness and plasticity, with from i to 3 per cent of 
magnesia are the best for facing. Such sand should be entirely free 
from lime.

Moulding Sand 



Spcdfications of \V. G. Scotl, Racine, Wis. 

"Moulding sand for iron work generally conUiins from 75 to 85 per 

cent of silica; 5 to 13 per cent of alumina; less than 2.5 per cent lime 

and magnesia; not over 0.75 per cent soda and potash and generally 

less than 5 per cent oxide of iron; not more than 4 per cent of water." 

Sand for Brass 

Sand for brass may contain a much higher percentage of iron and 
lime without detriment. 

.\11 moulding sands contain more or less organic matter. Carbonate 
of lime must not exceed 1.5 per cent for iron sands, nor 2U per cent for 
brass. Iron oxide must not exceed 5.5 per cent for iron nor 7 per cent 
for brass sand; organic matter not to exceed i per cent. Any sand 
showing an excess of 13 per cent alumina will be rejected.

.\ny of these sands would answer very well so far as their chemical 
composition is concerned, for any class of work; but it is absolutely 
necessary that they should possess the proper degree of fineness. 

The finer sands are less siliceous and as a rule carrj' higher percentages 
of alumina and fluxes than coarser grades, as shown by the following

Testing Moulding Sand 473 

The greater the average fineness, the lower the permeability. 

Prof. Ries, from whose paper the above notes are e.xtracted, concludes 
that the chemical analysis of moulding sands are not of as much impor- 
tance as their physical properties. 

To test the "temper" and strength of sand, the moulder squeezes 
a handful into a ball. If it takes the impression of his hand readily 
and leaves the hand clean, it is considered sufi&ciently damp. Its 
strength or binding power is tested by lifting the lump from one end, 
or by carefully breaking it apart; or he may squeeze a ball of sand about 
a little stick or nail and see if it can be lifted by the stick. He then 
blows through it to test its porosity. Such crude tests are in constant 
use and, conducted by experienced moulders, serve the purpose. 

A. E. Outerbridge instituted a series of experiments to determine 
these characteristics more definitely. The following is extracted from a 
paper read before A.S.M.E., at their New York meeting in 1907. 

"A number of test bars of green sand 6" X i" X i" were made 
under uniform conditions of pressure, dampness and quality of material 
used in forming the ordinary mould. These little test bars were placed 
upon a smooth metal plate with sharp square edges. The bars were 
then pushed over the edge of the plate until they broke, when the amount 
of the overhang was measured. It was soon found that there was a 
great difference in the length of the overhang, which was regarded as 
a quantitative measure of the toughness of the sand. These differences 
were not even noticeable in the crude ball test. 

Samples taken from different parts of a small sand heap that had been 
uniformly dampened, or tempered, varied greatly in this respect, owing 
no doubt to the irregular distribution of the alumina or clay binder; 
and the correctness of this inference was subsequently confirmed by 
simple analytical tests. After a sufiicient number of these test bars 
had been made and broken to prove the reliability of the method, further 
tests were devised to ascertain whether the usual methods of riddling 
and mixing the sand for the moulder's use affected its quality either by 
increasing or decreasing its toughness, as shown by the amount of over- 
hang of similar test bars of green sand. It was proved that the more 
thoroughly the sand was worked, the greater the overhang, due, as al- 
ready stated to the more uniform distribution of the binder. 

"The ideal moulding sand is a material in which the individual grains 
of silex, constituting approximately 90 per cent of the mass, are com- 
pletely covered with an overcoat of alumina or clay and the more 
uniform the grains are in size and shape, the better is the sand with 
respect to porosity in relation to the average size of the grain. 

" It was found on passing a sample of sand a number of times through 



474 



Moulding Sand 



a haiidriddle, and making test bars from the sample after each riddling, 
that the overhang was increased measurably. Thus, a sample of sand, 
which, after tempering and mixing by hand with a shovel, showed an 
overhang of less than two inches of the test bar, increased to nearly 
three inches after a dozen riddlings. It would not be practicable to 
treat large masses of sand in this manner, nevertheless, the informa- 
tion thus obtained was (4uite valuable and led to imjwrtant practical 
results. 

"Another novel observation was concurrently made, viz., that the 
increased toughness and porosity noticed in these tests might be partly 
due to "aeration" or to the separation of the grains of sand when 
falling from the sieve to the floor. In order to discover the truth or 
falsity of this view, a quantity of sand was shaken in a box with a closed 
lid for several minutes and test bars were made before and after shaking. 
The correctness of the theory was quickly shown, for the shaking with- 
out sieving proved to be more effective than the sieving without shaking. 
Tests for porosity were also made, but these were not ver>- satisfactory 
owing possibly to lack of suitable means of controlling and measuring 
the compressed air." 

Using one of Wm. Seller's & Co. 's centrifugal sand mixers, the develop- 
ment of which was largely due to Mr. Outerbridge's experiments, a series 
of tests were made with facing sand prepared as follows :

"The bar labeled o was pressed from a sample of the sand after 
having been dampened and turned over several times, with a shovel, 
and only partly mixed. The object of such preHminary mixing is 
simply to prevent the coal dust from flying out of the centrifugal ma- 
chine on subsequent treatment. 

"The other bars were made from the same pile of strong sand, after 
passing through the centrifugal machine from one to ten times. These 
bars were laid side by side upon the smooth metal plate, resting upon a 
table, and were slowly pushed over the edge of the plate until they 
broke. " 

The following table gives the measurements of the overhang of each 
bar as nearly as the somewhat irregular shape of the break permitted.

"It will be observed that the first treatment increased the overhang 
H inch, the subsequent treatments increased the overhang in some 
cases H inch, and in some cases not measurably. The first treatment 
was, therefore, the most effective, and for practicable purposes one 
treatment is often sufficient to insure good mixing of the materials and 
thorough disintegration of any lumps. 

"The strain tending to break the sand beam is increased by the 
additional weight of the increasing length of the overhanging portion, 
and also Uy the increased moment of its center gravity. It is readily 
seen, therefore, that an increase in length of the overhang of % inch 
on the first treatment in the centrifugal machine means an increased 
tenacity of 75 per cent. In like manner an increase in overhang of 
50 per cent means an increase in strength of sand of 225 per cent. 

The illustration, Fig. 133, shows the fractured surfaces of the same 
bars. 

" Bar No. o shows the heterogeneous components of the partly mixed 
sand, while the other fractures show increasing uniformity due to more 
thorough mixing, and disintegration of lumps up to No. 3, after which 
no further increase in uniformity is observable to the eye. 



476 



Moulding Sand 




.. ijj. — Lnd V lew uf the 
Test Bars in Fig. 132. 



The illustrations convey a very fair impression of the actual appearance 
of the bars. The appearance of the fractured surfaces coincides with 
the tests for ovcrhanp, and shows that a single treatment in this machine 

is in many cases sutVicicnt, and two 
treatments are all that are usually 
needed with any sand mixtures. 

In mixing core sand containing flour, 
the efTectivcness of this method is still 
more strikingly evident, owing to the 
almost total disappearance of the white 
flour, due to its thorough commingling 
with the sand and coal in one treat- 
ment. 

The centrifugal machine is especially 
efficient in mixing sharp sand with lin- 
seed oil for cores. When so used it is 
run at a lower speed than when used for 
tempering and mixing moulding sand. 
Two treatments are sufficient to insure 
thorough mixing of sharp sand and oil for cores. 

There are many other devices for tempering and mixing sand mechan- 
ically, such as, shakers, revolving reels, etc., which are effective. 

The amount of cohesive matter, or binder, in moulding sand should be 
limited to that which will permit good ramming, without destroying its 
porosity, so that the gases will escape readil}-, without allowing the iron 
to penetrate. 

The sand in a mould next to the casting is burned and loses much or 
all of its cohesion. This is due to driving off the water of combination 
in the alumina which cannot be restored. The thickness of the layer 
of burned sand depends upon the size of the casting and temperature of 
same. 

It is impossible to separate all of this burned sand after the removal 
of the castings. Much of it gets mixed in the sand heaps, which must 
be strengthened from time to time with new sand. 

Aside from the loss of combined water and increase in iron content, 
chemical analysis shows little difference in the composition of new and 
burned sand. This is shown in the table on page 457, made by analyz- 
ing the same sand before and after using. 

Tn general, moulding sand must possess the following requirements. 
It must be sufTiciently porous to allow the free passage of air and 
the gases generated in casting. 
It must resist high temperature without fusing. 



Moulding Sand Requirements 



477 



It must permit of easy removal from the cold castings. 

When rammed into shape it must be firm and sufficiently compact 
to resist the pressure of the liquid metal. 

It must be strong enough to resist the abraiding action of the stream 
of metal entering the mould.

For Dry Saiid Moulding 

Any sand which, when rammed, will permit of drying into a compact, 
coherent but porous mass, will answer the purpose of a dry sand mix- 
ture. Many green sands dry into friable masses. 

Such sands must be mixed with some substance to give them strength. 
For such purpose, flour, stale beer, molasses-water, or clay-wash may 
be usid. When flour is used, it is mixed in the proportion of one to 
twenty or thirty, depending upon the character of the sand. 

With some sands the flour may be dispensed with and the sand 
strengthened sufficiently with molasses-water or clay wash. In dry 
sand moulds, only one or two inches of the sand next the pattesn are of 
the prepared mixture. The remainder of the flask is filled with ordinary 
heap sand. This should be as open as possible to permit the ready 
escape of the gases. The facing should likewise be as open as can be 
safely worked. The amount of moisture should be about the same as is 
used in green sand. Dry sand facings must be thoroughly well mixed. 

Mr. West gives the following mixtures for dry sand facings.

Dry Sand Moulds 

Old dry sand becomes very close. It should be passed through a 



No. 8 riddle to remove the dust and very fine particles, 
material mixed with new sand works well. 



The coarse 



Skin Drying 

Instead of making dry sand moulds which are baked in the oven, moulds 
are more frequently "skin dried." Skin dried moulds are essentially 
the same as "dry sand" except that the drying does not extend to as 
great depths and the facing is not as strong. 

For skin dried moulds mix with ordinary heap sand about i to 30 flour. 
After the mould is finished sprinkle with molasses water. The mould is 
dried either with the kerosene blow torch, or fire of wood, coke or char- 
coal, built in iron baskets which are placed in the mould. Often the 
mould is covered with sheet iron and fires are built on top of the iron. 
In drying copes, they are suspended and fires built under them. 

Before drying, the moulds are brushed with black wash, made of plum- 
bago and water, to which a little molasses water or clay wash is added. 
Sometimes moulds are black washed after drying. 



Core Sand 

Core sand should be high in silica and low in alumina. A sand con- 
taining much alumina does not permit the ready escape of gases after 
baking.

"Since the greater portion of a core is to be entirely surrounded by 
metal, the sand of which it is composed encounters conditions much 



4S0 Moulding Sand 

more st-verc than lliosc mul wiili l)y facing siinds. Three conditions 
must be noted. 

First. — The core is subjected to much handling. 

Second. — The gases generated in casting must find egress through 
the core and not through the metal. 

Third. — The core has fmally to be removed from the casting. 

"All cores, before entering the mould, are dried, and in this condition 
must be hard enough to permit handling, and porous enough to admit 
the free escape of gases. Yet the sand must not be burned or converted 
into a compact mass by the heat; if so, it will be e.xtrcmely dilDcult t<3 
remove from the casting. 

"A sand high in silica should yield the best results. To such a sand 
the necessary bond must be added. An ideal core sand is one in which 
the silica is given bond by the addition of an organic substance, which 
produces a firm core, capable of withstanding high temperatures and 
resisting the penetrating action of fluid metal. Such a core is friable 
in tlie cold casting, and is, therefore, easily removed. 

"If bond is given to silica by clayey matter alone, then the metal 
bakes the cores hard, and renders their removal dilUcult. 

"A hard surface imparted to the sand by ramming is fatal, as fluid 
metal will not lie on it, but a hard surface resulting from the binder 
does not necessarily represent an impervious one, and fluid metal will 
usually lie quietly on it. Heat tends to loosen a sand made hard in 
this way, instead of fusing it. 

Core Mixtures 

"There should be just enough bonding material in a core mixture to 
coat each individual grain of sand, without filling the interstices between 
the grains, and the value of the core depends greatly upon the tliorough- 
ness with which the mixture is incorporated. Too much attention 
cannot be given to this feature. As a rule mechanical mi.xers give the 
best results. The binders in common use are 

Flour. Linseed oil. 

Glue, Rosin, 

Molasses, Rosin oil. 

In addition to these there are many commercial binders of more or 
less value, all of them designed to offer a binder cheaper than those 
above mentioned. 

Cores made with flour, glue or molasses soften quickly when exposed 
to dampness. Therefore they must be kept in a dry place, or used soon 
after they are made. The moulds in which they are placed should be 



Dry Binders 481 

poured shortly after the cores are set. If allowed to stand for a period 
of 24 hours, the cores should be taken out and dried. 

Cores made with glue are very friable when hot and must be handled 
with great care. Less gas is given off by them than by those made 
with any other binder. Glue cores leave a smoother hole and do not 
require to be blackened as do flour cores. 

Flour is mixed with sand in proportions varying from i to 18, to i to 
30, depending upon the strain which the core is to resist. The weaker 
the mixture, the more readily the gas escapes. 

Glue is first soaked in warm water and then boiled until entirely dis- 
solved. Glue water should consist of 2 pounds of glue to 3 gallons of 
water. This mixture is sufficient to treat 100 pounds sand. 

Rosin must be first pulverized; it is then mixed with sand in propor- 
tions of I to 20, or I to 30, as required. 

Rosin oil is used i to 18, or i to 24 as the requirements of the case 
indicate. 

Molasses, mixed i to 20 water is used more for spraying cores to give 
a hard surface, than for entire mixtures. 

Linseed oil with sharp sand, mixed about i to 30 furnishes the best core 
of all binders. It is strong, porous and is easily removed from the 
casting. For light, delicate cores, such as gas engine and automobile 
work it is unequaled. 

Large percentages of old cores, gangway sand and moulding sand may 
be used in the core mixtures. 

Core sand should be quite damp for use, but not so wet as to adhere 
to the core box. Wet sands require much less binder than dry. 

A saving may be made in the use of flour by boiling it thoroughly 
and then using the paste (very thin) to wet the sand. As already 
mentioned, the more thoroughly the binder is incorporated with the 
sand, the better will be the cores. 

Mr. A. M. Loudon made an extensive series of experiments to deter- 
mine the comparative values of various core binders, and published the 
results in a most interesting paper presented to the American Foundry- 
men's Association at the Cleveland meeting 1906. From it the follow- 
ing extensive extracts are made.

Cores made from this mi.xturc dried quickly, were clean and sharp and

Mr. Loudon states that the dampness test for each mixture was to 
dij) a core partly in water, allowing it to stand after removal from the 
water for two or three days to air dry only. Iron was then cast in an 
open mould around the end which had been immersed. 

Test No. 2. — Included the water test as did all the other tests for 
dry and oil binders, the conditions being the same for all. 

The binder used in Test No. 2 stood the water test in a manner en- 
tirely satisfactory. The hot iron came in contact with the core without 
any disturbance. 

This binder in Mr. Loudon's judgment is best suited to large plain

Parting Sand 

The particles of burned sand, having been deprived of combined mois- 
ture will not cohere. Such sand, taken from the cleaning room, is used 
to separate the parts of the moulds and is also dusted on patterns to 
prevent the moulding sand from adhering to them. 

A most excellent parting sand for intricate work is made by saturat- 
ing very fine burned sand with kerosene or crude oil, and setting fire to 
the mixture. 

Lycopodium is also used for parting in particular work, but the high 
price subjects it to adulteration. 

Facings 

When molten iron comes in contact with a sand mould it tends to 
penetrate the pores of the sand and to fuse the particles in immediate 
contact, leaving a rough surface or scale, varying in thickness from H* 
to H of an inch, depending on the weight of the casting. 

Facing sands containing large p#rcentages of carbonaceous material 
are used to prevent this difficult}' and to lea\'e smooth surfaces on the 
castings. The carbon of the facing is decomposed by the heat, and the 



Facings 487 

gases generated prevent the hot iron from attacking the sand. Facing 
sand which is composed of ground coal (sea coal), and sand in the pro- 
portions of from I coal to 8 sand, and i coal to 20 sand, depending upon 
the character of the work, is placed next to the pattern in a layer from 
H to i^^ inches in thickness. Back of this and completely filling the 
flask is the heap, or floor sand. By the continued use of facing the 
floor sand becomes black with it. 
The term facing includes 

Sea coal, Coal dust, 

Plumbago, Charcoal. 

Talc (or soapstone) , 

It must adhere to the surface of the mould and cause the casting to 
peel when shaken out. 

Sea coal is a ground bituminous gas coal, free from sulphur and slate. 
It is mixed mechanically with new moulding sand in the proportion 
of I to 10, usually, and used generally on all work. For the purpose of 
obtaining smoother and brighter surfaces than result from the use of 
sea coal alone as a facing, the moulds are finished with plumbago or some 
mixture of which plumbago is the base. Plumbago is the best of all 
materials for this purpose. 

Soapstone is used largely in connection with plumbago as an adulter- 
ant, as also are coke dust and the dust of anthracite coal. 

The facing is applied to the mould either by hand, with a camel's hair 
brush, or it is mixed with molasses water and applied by a spray or with 
a brush. The latter method is usually used on dry sand moulds. 

Mr. W. G. Scott gives the analysis of Yougheogheny gas coal, from 
which the best "sea coal" facing is made as follows:

"Sulphur and ash are the two constituents of sea coal to be guarded 
against. If sulphur exceeds 0.75 the coal is inferior, and if sulphur is 
in excess of 1.5, the coal is unsuitable for facing. 

"Facing containing over 11 per cent ash ought not to be used. 

"Slack and culm are often ground and used as adulterants, but are 
readily detected by the amount of ash present.

Graphite Facing 

"Pure gr;ii)hile contains al)oui <)') per <ent carbon, but this degree 
of purity is not found in the natural product. A high grade natural 
graphite contains 75 per cent carbon; inferior grades contain from 15 
to 65 per cent. 

"As the regulation method of determining carbon in facings is to 
burn oil a weighed amount of sample and call the loss carbon, an un- 
scrupulous dealer may add coke or anthracite dust sufBcient to raise 
the carl)on content to any desired point. 

"Adulterations of this sort may be determined in several ways. 

"If several small beakers arc filled with water and pure graphite, 
coke dust, anthracite dust, soft coal dust or charcoal are carefully 
sprinkled on the surface of the water, each in a separate glass, none of 
the powder will settle except the coke dust and some charcoals. This 
test eliminates coke dust and non-greasy charcoals. By shaking in a 
test tube M gram of the sample with 15 c.c. of acetone and allowing 
the mixture to stand 10 or 15 minutes, it will be seen that the pure 
graphite settles clear, leaving the liquid colorless. Coke imparts a 
gray to the solution and remains in suspension a long time; anthracite 
coal imparts a faint brown color and settles more rapidly; soft coal 
dust imparts a deep brown color. 

"The above tests are qualitative onl}'. Equal parts of glacial acetic 
acid and sulphuric ether answer as well as acetone for this test."

charcoal give a general idea as to the character of the different forms

Mr. Scott gives the following as a test for the presence of anthracite 
coal in graphite. 

"Treat 0.5 gram of sample with 50 c.c. of strong nitric acid, boiling 
about 10 minutes. Then add 0.5 grams of pulverized f)Otassium chlo- 
rate and boil until most of the chlorine is oCF. Dilute with 30 c.c. of 
cold water and filter, reserving the filtrate for examination. 

The filtrate from pure graphite treated in this manner should be 
clear and colorless unless iron is present, in which case it may be some- 
what yellow in color. 

The filtrate from any kind of coal and charcoal will have a distinct 
amber brown color, the soft coals giving a deeper color than the hard 
coals or charcoal. 

To confirm the test add 30 c.c. of stannous chloride solution and 
note the change in color. The graphite filtrate will be reduced to a 
colorless liquid if iron is present, or remain unchanged if free from 
iron; whereas the filtrate from the coal having an amber color will be 
much deeper in color and in some cases nearly black. The only caution 
to be observed in this test is sulTicient boiling to remove all of the hydro- 
carbon coloring matter in the coal. 

The determination of magnesia is the onl)- method to be relied upon 
for detecting the addition of soapstone to graphite. Mi.xed with graph- 



Facings 491 

ite or anthracite dust, it answers very well for certain classes of work. 

Facing made entirely of anthracite or mixed with a low grade of 
natural graphite is termed Mineral Facing and is represented by one 
or more letters X to designate the fineness. Such facings may be added 
to wet blacking; or mixed with graphite, may be used on heavy work. 

All facings should be kept in a dry place as they readily absorb mois- 
ture. A high grade of plumbago makes the most suitable facing for 
producing bright clean castings. A good plumbago must not only 
have the proper chemical analysis, be of such refractory nature as to 
withstand the hot iron from cutting into the mould, but must also be of 
such a nature as will not retard the flow of the molten metal." 



CHAPTER XXT 

THE CORE ROOM AND APPURTENANCES 

Tin: important relation which the core room bears to the foundry 
product demands the most careful consideration as to location, con- 
struction and equipment. Unfortunately for the core maker, such con- 
siderations have been neglected in many foundries. Whatever could, 
htus been made to serve so long as the imperative demands were 
satisfied. Good castings cannot be made without good cores. Their 
production requires the same attention and forethought as the making 
of good moulds. 

Constant intercommunication between the moulding floors and core 
room, the handling of sand, fuel and ashes, etc., point to a location 
affording the greatest accessibility to the moulding floors and to the 
storage for sand and fuel. 

The core room should be well lighted and ventilated. The space 
allotted should be ample, not only for the convenience of the workmen 
but for storage of supplies, movable equipment, core plates, etc., so that 
the place may be kept neat and orderly. The arrangement of the 
work benches, machinery, cranes, racks, etc., must be governed by 
circumstances. 

The oven is the important feature in the core room. WTiere the cores 
arc not very large and the demand for them not ver\' great, some form 
of fxjrtable oven may answer the purpose. Many varieties are made, 
adapted to small and medium work. The convenience offered by them 
in placing and removing cores before and after baking, the small floor 
space occupied and the small fuel consumption commend them for 
light work. Most large foundries have one or more of these ovens. 
\\Tiere great quantities of small cores are required, some form of con- 
tinuous oven is frequently used. An oven with a revolving reel is very 
desirable for medium-sized work. 

The sketch below is taken from West's ".\merican Foundry Practice," 
page 133- 

"The oven is round, with an upright cast-iron shaft, having five 
flanges on which to bolt plates or arms A'A', the shape of which is 
shown at B. This oven is built with an 8-inch brick wall to form the 
outside and a cast-iron plate for the top, on which plate is a box D, to 

492 



The Core Room and Appurtenances

which a cap can be bolted to hold the top of the shaft, the bottom of 
which rests in a cast iron seat. 

"The fireplace should be outside of the circle, as shown, so that the 
cores will not get the direct heat from the fire. In building the walls, 
hinges HH, should be built in for hanging the oven door. 




Fig. 134. 

"This door should be made in two pieces, so as to open to the right 
and left, and should be the full height of oven, to provide for putting 
cores on the top shelves. 

"The chimney should have a top flue, as well as a bottom one, as 
shown at PP and dampers in both, so as to throw the heat down or 
up, as required. 

"When starting a fire, both dampers should be open, and when the 
cores to be dried are on the top shelf, the bottom damper may be closed, 
and vice versa. 

"This style of oven is very handy for drying cores that can be lifted 
by hand, and will hold and dry more cores with less fuel than any oven 
I know of. Should you want to dry a single core quick, put it on the 
top shelf and turn it round to the fire. 

"This oven can be filled with cores and they can be taken out again 
without going farther than the door, which alone is of great value to 
the core maker. 

"The size of this oven was about 8 feet in diameter and 7 feet high." 
The oven was heated with a cast-iron fire basket. 

On page 135 of same book is shown a sketch for a small oven of which 
Mr. West speaks very highly. The advisability of building such an 
oven is somewhat doubtful, however, in view of the great variety of 
portable ovens on the market which can be purchased at a reasonable 
price.

I'liL- Core RiKtin .imi Appurlcnances 



For larKC cores the dimensions of llie oven arc governed entirely by 
llie re(|uiremcnts of the foundry. 

Unless tlic drying of large moulds is comtcmj)lated, it is not advisable 
lo make an oven more than 12 feet wide by 20 feet long. Where greater 
capacity is required, it is better to duplicate it, on account of the greater 
loss of fuel in large ovens, which are not stored to their full limits.

Fig. 135. — Core Oven 

Among the sketches of large ovens shown bj- Mr. West, that on page 
227, "Moulders' Te.xt Book," presents a most excellent design. An en- 
larged sketch is given above. The dimensions may of course be varied 
to suit the requiremenls. 

Mr. West in descriliing ovens of this design says: "They surpass 
any 1 know of for properly drying moulds or cores. Although we use 



The Core Room and Appurtenances 495 

slack or soft coal for the fires, a mould or core will when dry, be almost 
as clean as when first put into the oven. Another important feature 
is that the ovens will dry rapidly and still not burn a mould or core. " 

Three ovens are fired from one pit, the draft flues being at the 
extreme ends of the oven and the channel for heat to travel being di- 
verted from side to side. There is but a small chance for heat to escape 
entering through the joints and thickness of the boiler plate up into the 
oven, before it can enter the flue at F, H and K. The arrow-like lines 
represent the heat passing from the fires to the flue. The partitions X 
divert the direction of the heat and also support the covering plates 
and carriage tracks. 

The covering plates, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are boiler iron !4 inch thick, 
cut into sections the width of the flue partitions. 

The plates on the outside of the track are free at any time to be 
lifted in order to clean out the soot. Where the fire enters the first 
flue or partition," the boiler plates are left out, and in their place a cast- 
iron plate '/2 inch thick, having prickers 2 inches long (on underside) 
and daubed up with fire clay is used. 

This is to prevent the direct flame from buckling and burning out the 
plates. 

There are no holes whatever in any of the plates, the heat passing 
through them and their joints, which of course are not air tight, heat 
up the oven. 

Were there holes in the plates, they would seriously injure the draught 
of the under flues, and also let much of the smoke into the ovens, thereby 
destroying essential points to be overcome in using slack for firing. 

To be able to fire with sl?rtk or soft coal, and still keep moulds and 
cores free from soot is something that will be appreciated by all moulders 
and core makers that work around ovens. Not only does soot make 
everything look dirty, but it is more or less productive of rough castings. 

"Another arrangement which I doubt being found in any other 
foundry oven is that for preventing smoke. Upon each side of the fire- 
places, about on a level with the fire, are ?6-inch openings, seen at E 
in elevation. In the rear of these openings the brick is left open about 
4" X 6", running the entire length of the fireplace. This opening gives 
a reservoir in which the air becomes heated before being drawn into 
the fireplace. This is, I believe, claimed to be beneficial in assisting 
'smoke burning' or combustion." 

The grate surface for the fire contains an area equal to about 32" X 38". 

"The fireplaces are all faced with one thickness of fire bricks, and the 
tops of fireplaces are arched over with fire bricks. Under the large 
oven are two fireplaces. The one nearest core oven is used for heating 



496 The Core Room and A|jpurlenanccs 

llic same, and is so constructed with damper arrangement, that should 
an extra heat be required in the large oven, both of the fires can be turned 
on to it. 

"As shown at D in elevation of oven, each one has a small manhole 
door, whereby liie flue leading to the chimney K can be readily cleaned. 

"The lops of the ovens are covered with a series of arches. 

" Upon tlic toi)s of these ovens we store anfl keep shop tools, etc. The 
way the tops arc formed, tons of weight can be laid ui>on them and do 
no harm; and the comljined area of the tops makes a splendid store- 
room for systematically keeping foundry tools." 

" .'Vltogether the ovens are a success, and a credit to their designer, 
the late Mr. Halloway. " 

Note. — Only one of the ovens is shown in the sketch. The other two 
are in all respects the same as the one shown. 

Another excellent design for a large oven is shown on page 129, West's 
"American Foundry- Practice." A description of one good oven is all 
that can be permitted here. 

The essential requirements for an oven are good draught and means 
for regulating it. Where the fire is made directly in the oven, as is 
frequently the case, there should be openings into the chimney at the 
top and bottom, with dampers for changing the direction and regulating 
the draught. There should also be a damper on top of the chimney 
so as to retain the heal when the fire is not urged. Aside from coal and 
coke, crude oil and natural gas are used for heating. 

The temperature of the ovens should range from 450° to 900° F. and 
must be varied somewhat according to the core sand mi.xtures. 

Flour sand requires a higher temperature than rosin or oil. The 
workmen soon learn the part of the oven in which the drying is most 
rapid and place the cores where they will dry quickly or slowly as re- 
quired. 

A pyrometer is a most valuable attachment and will often prevent 
the destruction of cores by overheating. 

The doors to these ovens are usually made in one piece of sheet iron 
and arc provided with counter weights, so as to permit of being raised 
or lowered easily. In some cases they are made of overlapping, plain or 
corrugated strips, which are wound upon rollers. 

Core Oven Carriages 

These are mounted on wheels having anti-friction bearings. The 
top of the carriage extends over on each side as far us convenient. The 
carriages have usually three or more decks as required. The whole 



Wire Cutter 497 

is made up of bars and angles properly trussed, and left as open as 
possible, for the passage of hot air to the cores. 

The track should be evenly laid, so that there may be no jarring as 
the car passes over it. 

Mixing Machines 

Machines for this purpose are of greatest value to the core room. 
The worth of a binder and that of a core depends largely upon the 
thorough incorporation of the components of the core. Each individual 
grain of sand should receive a coating of the binding material, but the 
latter should not be present in such quantity as to fill up the pores of 
the sand. To accomplish this result requires long-continued manipu- 
lation. The best results are obtained by a mechanical mixer, driven by 
power or by hand, as the conditions permit. A machine of this sort is 
indispensable in a well-appointed core room. There are many different 
kinds on the market. The centrifugal machine is, perhaps, the most 
desirable. 

Sand Conveyors 

Many of the large foundries are provided with sand elevators and 
conveyors, whereby the sand after mixing is carried to the bench of 
each core maker and delivered through spouts. The necessity for 
appliances of this sort will be indicated by the extent and character of 
the work, simply bearing in mind that the core maker should have the 
sand delivered to him. 

Rod Straighteners 

Core wires and rods by use become crystallized, and bent in all manner 
of shapes; so that it is not unusual to find about core rooms, large 
heaps of material of this kind, which are picked over by the core maker 
in search of what he requires. In this condition it is practically worth- 
less; therefore the expense for wire and rods is not inconsiderable. By 
annealing they may be softened, and if then passed through a straight- 
ener are rendered serviceable. Both hand and power machines for 
this purpose are made. 

Wire Cutter 

A. machine for this purpose is very useful where there are many small 
cores of a kind to be made. Otherwise the common hand cutter serves 
the purpose.

Sand Driers 

A SJind drit-r is frequently very <lisir.il)le. A simple one can l>e made 
by taking a sheet-iron cylinder from 15 to 20 inches in diameter, 
and say 5 feet long. Surround this by an inverted sheet-iron frustum 
of a cone, having a diameter at the base sudi that the space Ijetween 
it and the cylinder may contain any desired amount of sand. Near the 
intersection of the cone and cylinder there should be two or more small 
sliding doors. Mount the cylinder on a grate for coke; provide a 
cover for the top for checking the fire. This costs little and will dry 
sand very rapidly. The cut below shows a drier in freciuenl use.

Core Plates and Driers 

\ great variety of core plates, varying in sizes, is required. These 
plates are usually rectangular and for sizes less than 12 X 20 are it inch 



Cranes and Hoists 499 

thick. Larger plates are thicker. Each must be smooth and true on 
one side; on the opposite side are cast stiffening strips. Larger plates 
are of sizes and shapes required. For work of extreme accuracy, the 
plates should be planed on one side. The exposure of these plates to 
frequent heating and cooling finally warps them to such an extent that 
they become unserviceable. There should be racks for the storage of 
these plates so that any size desired may be quickly found. 

Irregular shaped cores which cannot be turned out on flat plates, or 
which must be supported in drying, require iron shapes made to conform 
to one of the surfaces of the core. The shapes are in reality portions 
of the core boxes. The cores are baked on them, thereby retaining the 
original form when dried. 

The expense for driers is often great, therefore they should be handled 
carefully, and put away with the core boxes to which they belong. 

Core Machines 

Wliere great numbers of small cores of uniform cross section, round, 
square, oval, polygonal or rectangular are used, a core machine is 
of the greatest value. One of these machines will make 200 or 300 
linear feet of small core in an hour. The cores are pushed out of a 
former as sausage from a sausage machine, on to metal drying trays. 
The cores are cut up into lengths as required and pointed to fit the 
prints. 

There are several different machines of this kind made, but the 
differences are not important. 

Machines 

Moulding machines are used in making cores for plain work, where the 
demand for the product warrants. 

Machines for making straw rope. These are little used except in 
pipe foundries. It occasionally happens in a jobbing foundry that a 
rope body for a core is required. In such a case the rope is made by 
hand. Straw rope is furnished by supply houses at low cost. 

Cranes and Hoists 

The requirements and location of these implements are regulated by 
the character of, and demand for, the work. Where the work is large 
there should be a traveling crane covering the track and the "big floor. " 
Circumstances will dictate in such cases. 



500 The Core Room and Appurtenances 

Oilier ai)i)lianccs arc screw clamps, spike claws, glue heaters, clay 
tubs, horses, etc. In view of the great number of implemenlii 
nccdetl about a core room, the necessity for adequate room, that the 
place may be kept neatly, orderly, and as cleanly as possible, will be 
apparent; and as the production of good castings depends upon the 
character of the cores, as well as upon that of the moulds, the neglect 
to provide proper facilities for the core maker is inexcusable. 



CHAPTER XXII 
THE MOULDING ROOM 

Too much attention cannot be given, in selecting a location for a 
foundry, to the character of the ground; good drainage is a primary 
requisite. Gravelly subsoil is altogether desirable. If the natural 
features of the situation do not permit proper drainage, the surface 
should be raised b}' proper filling so that the floor may be at least one 
foot above the ground exterior to the foundry. Much damage often 
results from the flooding of the floor during severe storms. 

Pits of greater or less depth have frequently to be made in the floor 
for heavy castings, and if the ground is not well drained great expense 
may be involved in keeping the pits dry. 

In preparing the moulding floor the surface soil should be removed 
and replaced with coarse sandj'^ loam. After this is leveled it should 
be covered with from 2 to 3 inches of moulding sand, rammed and 
leveled. 

Provide gangways of liberal width, one leading from the cupola and 
others perpendicular to it. The number and location of the gangways 
and the subdivisions of the floor are dependent on the character of the 
business. 

The main gangways, particularly the one leading out of the foundry, 
should be supplied with railroad tracks of standard gauge, connected 
to the switching sj'stem. 

Where it will best serve the purpose, ample space should be set aside 
for the Foundry Oflice and Pattern Loft. In the selection of this 
space regard should be had for access to the pattern storage. If at 
one end of the shop, it may be overhead. 

The proper lighting of a foundry is a matter of the greatest impor- 
tance. The windows should be large and close together, and all light 
possible admitted through the roof. The monitor roof is generally 
adopted, but the saw tooth or weaving shed roof serves well. What- 
ever style is adopted, it should carry provisior for good ventilation. 
No investment can make larger returns than that expended in procuring 
a well lighted foundry floor. 

Lavatories and closets are located where most convenient.

Cranes 

Unless the shop is small, or all the work light, a traveling crane is 
indispensable. The capacity and span of the ciane is governe<l by the 
conditions. Electric cranes are most commonly used and arc probably 
tlic best for the i)uq)osc. The necessity for wall and post cranes will 
1)0 indicated by the requirements of the business. Liberality in supply- 
ing cranes of lifting jwwer in excess of the proljable needs is never mis- 
placed. Occasions arise in every foundry which tax the cranes to their 
utmost capacity. Wire cables, instead of chains, for cranes are alto- 
gether preferable. Warning is always given of weakness in a cable, 
whereas a link in a chain may break at any moment. 

.\bundant head room is a matter of great imjjortance. Too fre- 
cjuently the inability to raise a heavy weight a few inches higher than 
the head room permits, occasions the greatest annoyance. 

Hooks and Slings 

For the strength and dimensions of hooks, see Table, page 172. 

For chains, see Table, page 

173- 

Chains and hooks should be 
frequently annealed. They 
arc liable to give way at any 
time and seldom give warning 
of weakness. There is an 
endless variety of cliains and 
hooks dexised by the ingen- 
uity of the moulder to meet 
exigencies which continually 
arise. Fig. 137 furnishes ex- 
amples of those in ordinary 
use. 

Hooks and Chains

heavy hooks for the crane. 
No. 1 is the t\pe of heavy

very convenient. 

Nos. 3, 3, 3 show different forms of change hooks. They are used in 
shifting a load from one crane to another. 




Fig. 137. 



Lifting Beams 



503 



Nos. 4 and 5 "S. & C. " hooks, made very heavy, are in frequent 
demand in connection with heavy lifting. 

No. 6 is the form of hook usually attached to slings for lifting iron 
flasks. They are made with flat or chisel points from ili to 3 inches 
wide. 

No. 7 is the ordinary chain hook. 

No. 8 is a claw hook for shortening hitches and adjusting chain 
lengths. 

No. 9 represents beam slings for hoisting copes, rolling flasks, etc. 
The hooks should be flat and thin, 
so as to engage easily in the long 
links A, A. There should be two 
or more of these long links in each 
chain, spaced at equal distances. 
Several pairs of these slings about 
every foundry where the lifting is 
by cranes are most convenient. 

No. 10 shows a most serviceable 
sUng. It is usually fitted with grab 
hooks like No. 6. 

No. 1 1 is a rigid beam sling used 
on flasks with trunnions. There 
should be two or more pairs of 
this type of sling. Another form 
of trunnion sling is made of a large 
strap ring to which is attached a 
short chain with hook or ring for 
engaging the crane chains. 

No. 12 is the ordinary turn- 
buckle, an invaluable implement; 
of which there should be several pairs of varying strength. 




Fig. 138. 



Lifting Beams 

No. 13 shows a light forged beam, or spreader. This is most con- 
venient especially for light work. 

The usual lifting beam is made of cast iron with notches for slings. 
While such a beam is very serviceable, it is too heavy to handle for 
moderate weights and unsafe for heavy loads. 

No. 14 shows a beam made of oak reinforced with iron straps. 
Such a beam is light and may be used for moderately heavy 
loads.

Binder Bars 



S05 



No. 16 shows a cross with detachable arms. This is frequently used 
for large copes or rings, where the points of attachment must be dis- 
tributed equally. It does not answer for very great weights. Crosses 
with shorter arms cast in one piece are often of great service. 

The foundry supplies itself with such appliances as occasion requires. 



n 




Fig. 140. 

Binder Bars 

Binder bars are usually made of cast iron, except for very heavy work, 
when steel beams are used. The binders are ordinarily made in open 
sand with the ends slotted for bolts. For heavy work holes are made 
in the ends instead of slots. 

.. ■- upper Rib for Heavy Sars 



Fig. 141. 



The binders are held by bolts to similar bars under the bottom board 
of flask, or are fastened to anchors in the floor. For safe loads on steel 
I beams employed as binders, multiply the loads given in the table 
on page 504. 

Binder bars for supporting sides of flasks are of same character as 
those for holding down copes, except that they are shorter and not as 
heavy.

Clamps 

There arc many types of clamps on the market. Adjustable, steel 
and malleable iron, but it is extremely doubtful if anything has lx^cn 
found to take the place of the common, old fashioned, cast-iron cUimp 
and wooden wedge. 

A large assortment of the sizes in ordinar>' u.sc should l>e kept on 
hand. Where vcr>' long ones are required D wrought iron bars arc 
bent to shape. It is the better practice, howe\er, to use binders in 
place of exceedingly long clamps. 



^ 



i7 ^ 



Fig. 142. Fig. 145. 

Iron flasks are frequently held together by short clamps on tie flanges. 



Flasks 

The wood flask has been used for ages and has served its purpose 
most admirably. Wood, however, is becoming so ex-pensive that the 
iron or steel flask is rapidly superseding it. 

Cast-iron flasks arc so durable and so easily made, that an assortment 
covering the ordinary range of work is almost indispensable. 

The ordinary wooden flask is nothing more than a plain box. For 
light work it is made of 2-inch plank, of width and other dimensions to 

suit the requirements. 

Fig. 144 shows the ordinar}- wood 
flask for light work; the ends are 
gained into the sides ]n inch and 
spiked. The upper part is called 
the cope and the bottom the nowel 
or drag. The depth of these parts 
depends entirely on the pattern. 

It is essential that the joint at 
"A" should be a plane surface. 
or as the workmen say, "out of 
wind. "

the wood sides is about 20 X 20 depending largely upon the character 
of the moulding sand. 

For larger flask-bars, boards iV4 inch thick are placed crosswise 
of the cope and about 6 or 8 inches apart. The cope is also strengthened 
by rods at the end .r running from side to side. The rods should have 
large washers under the nuts. There should be one or more rods at 
each. end depending upon the depth of the cope. The lower edges of 
the bars are chamfered to sharp edges, and the edges are kept from 
?4 to I inch away from the pattern, the bars having been cut to con- 
form to the general shape of the pattern. Where the distance between 
the edges of the bars and the surface of the pattern is more than ?4 inch, 
nails are driven slantwise into the bars so that their heads may come 
within three-quarters inch of pattern. 

The cope is coated with thick clay wash before placing it in position 
to receive the sand. The ordinary medium-sized wood cope is gener- 
ally made as shown in sketch below.

flasks of different dimensions is copied from the Transactions of the

of 6 inches for copes and drags. For each additional depth of 6 inches, 
the thickness should be increased 25 per cent.

Bars should nol be o\er 8 inches apart, center to center. 

Square flasks, from 24 to 36 inches square should have one row of 
short cross bars running through center of flask, connecting the long 
bars that extend from side to side. 

Sizes from 36 to 48 inches square should have at least one cast-iron 
bar, preferably two, and should also have one row of short cross bars. 

Sizes from 48 to 60 inches square should have two iron bars and two 
rows of short cross bars. 

With rectangular flasks, the statement that connecting bars are not 
needed until the flasks are 36 inches wide does not accord with the 
usual practice. Ordinarily connecting bars are used in flasks over 
18 inches wide. 

Rectangular flasks over 60 inches wide should have one cast bar 
crosswise in the center. Flasks over 48 inches wide should have two 
rows of cross bars and two cast bars at equal distances from the end of 
the flask. 

.\11 copes should have a 'i-inch bolt ruiminu from side to side at each 
end. and where the cope is longer tlian three feet it should have a bolt 
in the center. Where copes are over 6 feet long, the bolts should be 



Flasks 



50Q 



spaced every two feet apart. All bolts should have large washers at 
each end. 

Drags should also have bolts at each end, but as conditions often 
prevent their use in the center, 
long-nosed clamps placed cross- 
wise every iS to 24 inches and se- 
curely wedged are recommended. 

The form of flask shown above 
is that most commonly used 
when they are made of wood. 
It is a short-lived affair, being 
quickly knocked and racked out 
of shape, and soon goes to the 
cupola for kindling wood. Such 
flasks may be greatly strength- 
ened and their durability in- 
creased by bolting cast-iron angles 
in the corners or even reinforcing c[ 
the corners with blocks of wood, 
well spiked to sides and ends. 
^^'^ithout greatly increasing the 
cost a far better flask is made 
by making the ends of cast iron. 
Such flasks are in common use 
for making cylinders or other 




Fig. 146. 



castings, requiring large circular cores as per following sketch. 

Flasks of similar construction 
are often used for cylinders as 
large as 20 inches diameter of 
bore. The sides of the flask 
must be made of plank from 3 
to 4 inches thick depending on 
the size. For rectangular flasks 
made of wood and iron, the con- 
struction shown below, offered 
by Mr. P. R. Ramp, is excellent. 

The suggestion to core the 
trunnion, as at 4, is also valu- 
able, as it greatly reduces the 




^m^ 



Fig. 147. 
chance of unsoundness at that point. 

Flasks that are heavy enough to require trunnions should have iron 
ends. The trunnions may be cast on the ends or on trunnion plates, 
which are bolted to the ends. 



5»o 



The MouldiriK K6om 



Iron Flsisks 

Although the first cost is somewhat greater, iron flasks soon pay for 
themselves by durability. They arc stronger, more rigid and reduce 
the liabiUty to swells and run-outs. 

The copes and drags of small iron flasks arc usually marJc each in 
one piece. At the joints for flasks with straight sides, flanges e.\lend 
all the way around the inside. 

The handles may be of wrought iron cast in place, or, of cast iron, for 
sizes requiring two men to lift the cope. 

Some are made with sides turned 

>U iL up edgewise like troughs, so that the 

°~^{| [7"° greatest length and breadth will be 

at the middle of the section. 

These arc more expensive to mould 
and present no advantages over 
the flask with flat sides as shown 
in fjg. 148. 





Fig. 148. 



Fig. 149. 



An assortment of small flasks of this description, ranging from 12 X 14 
to 16 X i8 is of great value to any foundr>-. 

Iron flasks of medium and large sizes are best made in sections and 
bolted together. 

Flasks of this stjde are made and fitted up very quickly. .\ few 
[)attcrns answer for a large assortment. With proper stop-ofi's, the ends 
and sides can be lengthened or shortened as desired. 

Where the copes are too large to be lifted off by hand, bosses are 
cast on the end. These arc drilled to receive a yoke and the cope may 
then be lifted by crane and turned. 

If the flask is heavier than can be safely lifted with such a yoke, 
trunnions may be made on the ends and heavier lifting gear emplojxd. 

The requirements for hea\"y flasks are so varied that it is impossible 
to specify any general type. 

By making them in standard sections as much as possible, having 



Iron Flasks 



511 



the parts interchangeable, a rectangular flask of almost any required 
dimensions may be constructed. By so doing the number of flasks is 
greatly reduced.

Care must be taken to number and store the parts systematically so 
that they may be readily accessible. 

It is seldom that a large flask will need to be less than 6 feet by 8 feet, 
and 12 inches deep. Starting with the end pieces 6 feet X i foot, and 
having four distance pieces, each i, 2, 3 and 4 feet long, ends can be 
assembled 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 feet long; by duplicating the parts, 
the depth of cope or drag can be made any number of even feet. 

Where the depth of cope or drag is over one foot, it is desirable to 
break joints in lapping the sections. 

It is better to have the trunnion plates loose, so that they may be 
bolted to any of the 4 or 6 feet lengths. 




o C 



Fig. 151. 

The top and bottom edges must be planed and the holes in ends and 
sides drilled to templets. 

Flanges top and bottom must be from $H to 4 inches wide, and the 
4 and 6 feet sections drilled at the center of flanges for pins. The 



si; 



'I'hc MouMiiiK Room 




pl:ine<I surface need only be ?« inch wide; lli:' ll.inKes should drop away 
from edges from H to ^\n inch. 

The ucIj of sections should be ':>> iiicii thicii and the 
flanges i ' < inches. 

Tlic lifting is in most cases done by attaching to 
the flanges, but wiierc the weight is loo great to be 
-;ifely borne by these flanges, heavy wrought-iron 
loops are bolted to the sections, for points of attach- 
ment. 

On page gS, "American Foundr>- Practice," Mr. 
West shows an admirable form of extension flask for 
moderate sizes. 

"The handles W, W, are of wrought iron cast into 
the flask. They are placed on a slant so as to be in line with the chains 
when lifting. Guides A", A' should be cast on for driving stakes along 
the side. The plate Y forms the end of flask. Should it be desired to 
make the flask longer, distance pieces may be bolted in between the 
flask proper and the plate Y.

Flasks of this style are commonly used as copes to cover bedded work.

The above sketch represents an ordinary heavy flask (cope) say 
6' X 12' X 3'. 

In making large door frames, where the interior of the flask is not 
used, or for similar work, it is customary to have the flask follow the 
outline of the pattern and leave the interior vacant as shown in sketch 
below. , ,

Flasks are made in all sorts of irregular shapes both in plan and eleva- 
tion, as necessitated by the patterns. The bottom plates of heavy 
flasks are made of cast iron. These are fastened to the bottom flange 
of the drag by short heavy clamps. Thus. 

Circular flasks are in common use. They 
serve as copes to wheels cast in the floor 
and for other purposes. For large wheels 
which are swept up, instead of sweeping out 
the face in a pit, large rings are used for the 
cheek. The arms and hub are made with ^^^- ^5^' 

cores and interior of wheel swept up and not disturbed subsequently.

Flasks made of sheet steel pressed to shape are light and convenient. 

They are, however, mudi 
more expensive. They are 
not as durable as cast-iron 
flasks, and when worn out 
are of no value; whereas 
with the cast flasks, noth- 
ing is lost but the labor.

Sterling Steel Flasks 

The scarcity and increased cost of good flask lumber is making it 
necessary for foundrymen to consider other flasks than wooden ones. 

The line of steel flasks shown herewith combine strength, durability, 
lightness and efficiency. They will give splendid service. They have 
in many instances entirely supplanted wooden flasks, to the advantage 
of the user in every instance.

Snap Flasks 



517 



This is a decided departure in flask manufacture. It is constructed 
of structural channel steel with flanges to the outside, having a smooth 
wall on the inside. The interior is provided with staples arranged at 
intervals to permit of inserting corrugated swivel gaggers for sand 
supports. 

This type of flask does away \vith the flask maker entirely, as each 
moulder arranges his gaggers or sand supports to suit the necessity. 

An equipment of these flasks is an excellent investment. 

1. They cut out the use of expensive material (lumber). 

2. They practically do away with the flask maker. 

3. They eliminate expense of handling flasks. 

4. They will remain in foundry and save storage. 

5. And the most important feature to be considered is the increased 
output, better castings, less scrap, all of which will appeal directly to 
the proprietor. 

These floor flasks are furnished with a complete equipment of corru- 
gated swivel gaggers for sand supports which the moulder arranges 
easily to suit requirements. 

Snap Flasks 

Snap flasks are used by bench molders for light work. They must 
be easily and quickly handled, although snaps are sometimes made so 
large as to require two men. The flask is removed from the mould, hence 
one flask serves for an entire floor. 




They are usually made of cherry or mahogany; the hinges should 
lock and unlock quickly and be rigid when locked. The corners are 
strengthened with iron comer bands, and the cope is faced on top with 



5i8 



The Moulding Room 



iri)n. For special work ihe joint may be made to conform with the 
parting. Rectangular snap llasks 3 feet long by 14 to 16 inches wide 
are not uncommon. For some classes of work round snaps are required. 

In the hands of a rapid, skillful moulder the snap flask is an indispen- 
sable implement for a foundry ha\ing large quantities of small work. 

I'ieces weighing as much as 100 pounds may be made in the snap 
nask. 

The cuts herewith illustrate the construction of the different kinds 
of snaps referred to. 

Snap flasks of standard dimensions from 1 2 X 1 2 to 1 2 X 20 can be 
purchased of most of the foundry supply houses. 

Where many moulds are to be made from one pattern, a match board, 
on which the patterns arc placed, and upon which the parting is made, 
is practically a necessity. If these matches are not to be preser\'ed, 
and are on!)' to be used for a moderate number of moulds, they are made 
of moulding sand and fine sharp sand, half and half, stiffened with molasses 
water, or linseed oil, and dried; but if a permanent match board is desired, 
a mixture composed of one-half new moulding sand, one-half parting 
sand, '10 litharge, mixed with linseed oil and thoroughly dried will serve 
admirably. The match should be varnished with shellac and kept with 
the pattern. Such a match board is shown in Fig. 165.. 





Fig. 165. 



Fig. 166. 



The moulds made in snap flasks must be covered with weights before 
they are poured. The w-eight should be about I'i inches thick and 
should cover the cope entirely. 

Where the contents of the flask arc quite heavy, or where the patterns 
approach the sides of the flask closely, the moulds require to be sup- 
ported by boxes, as well as to be weighted. For this purpose wood 
boxes of i-inch lumber are made so that the interior shall have the 
same dimensions as the interior of the whole flask (cope and drag); 
this is shoved down over the mould and supports it against lateral 
pressure. Care must be taken that the boxes are not so small as to 
shave the mould nor so large as not to support it; they should just fit all 
around. 

These boxes are sometimes made of cast iron. Very serviceable ones 
made of sheet iron can be purchased at moderate prices.

Galvanized Iron Slip Boxes 
Straight Taper 




Fig. 167. 

The above are undoubtedly the best slip boxes on the market. They 
are more durable than wood or cast-iron boxes, are lighter and will not 
break by falling. They are made either straight or tapered, of No. 22 
iron with a No. 9 wire in top and bottom and creased. 

In ordering, state whether straight or tapered and give the exact 
size of inside of flasks. 

These boxes are for light handling and will not stand careless run-outs, 
as the hot iron will warp them. They are very rigid, however, and with 
the ordinary one-inch margin outside of pattern there will be no run- 
outs. 

When ordering taper jackets, give taper or degree per foot on side, or 
make sketch giving size of top and bottom, also depth of drag. 



Pins, Plates and Hinges 

In order that the cope of a flask, when hfted from the drag after 
ramming, may be returned exactly to its original position, so that the 
two parts of the mould may match perfectly, guides must be provided 
which will insure correct closing. 

These are frequently made of 
wood, and if kept in good shape, 
serve the purpose admirably. 
Wooden guides are especially 
advantageous for long lifts. 

Fig. 1 68 shows a wood guide, 
of which there should be at 
least three on the flask. The 
moulder must exercise care when 
preparing to ram up a flask, to 
see that the guides and pins are securely nailed, that there is no lateral 
play and that the cope may be lifted and returned to its place with- 
out sticking at the pins. 

Guides of this kind, while chiefly in use on wood, are sometimes 
employed on large iron flasks. In the latter case wooden blocks are 



J

securely fastened in the potkcts between flanges, and the guides nailed 
tt> the blocks. 

The usual guide for the ordinary wood llask is a common cast-iron 
|)late and pin. 

These are continually getting loose and 
furnish no end of trouble to the moulder

as well as causing many castings to be scrapped. It is the most worth- 
less appliance of its kind. 
A very good iron guide may be made as per sketch. (I'ig. 170.)

Sweeps 




Fig. 176. ' 

The above sketch shows the ordinary sweep used for making large 
pulleys, fly wheels, etc. A large chiss of work, circular in horizontal 
section, can be made with the sweep, thereby saving largely in the 
expense for patterns. 

To obtain accurate work by the use of tlie sweep, the stepping .4 
must be firmly placed, so that the axis of tlic spindle B shall be vertical. 
The upper support D must be held rigidly, either by braces to wall of 
foundry or otherwise as most convenient. The box D may be made 
with a flange surrounding it from which three or four rods lead away 
to any suitable anchorages. These rods are provided with tumbuckles 
so that the spindle may be held rigidly in a vertical position. 

£ is an adjustable collar fasloncxi in position by a set screw. 

C is an iron arm carrying the wood strikes. The bearings by which 
this arm is supported should be farther apart tlian the width of the 
arm, so as to avoid any sagging of tlie latter. 

If these bearings are split in a direction parallel to the spindle and 
drawn up witli clamp screws, lost motion can be taken up at any time. 
Any play in the supports for the arm, or neglect to maintain the spindle 
in a vertical position, will result in a distorted casting. Sweeps are

often wnstructed with olabvirate mediauical attachinoiits for making 
gears, spiral wheels, spinil cones, ele. 

Sometimes the steppinirs are placed permanenll}' on concrete piers, 
where there are many wheels, etc.. to be made. 

The strikes arc cut in aii\' desireil shape and are used for inside or 
outside sweeping. Swept moulds arc usuall\- skin dried. 








Anchors, Gaggers and Soldiers 

These devices arc used for sui>- 
IHKting the sand where tlic ordinar\- 
bars ;ire insutVicicnt or inapplicable. 
Fig. 177 sJiows an anchor used 
for making pulleys. It txinsists 
of six cast-iron segmental plates 
about in inch thick, which aa^ 
so placed between the arms of 
the pulley as to leave a space for 
s;md, -^4 inch wide, all iux)und tliem. 
The upper sides of the plates are 
on the parting line of the arms. 

The pUues are held together by 
wrought iron loops, passing over 
the arms, and cast in place. All 
the plates are poured at once, and 
in open s;uul. "■'• '"7- 

Instead of wrought-imn loops, these cX)nneclions may be made bj' 
c;\st-iron loops, furnishing a much stilTer anchor. 
On the under side of each plate are east one or 
more long conical pn.ij\vt ions, which serve as 
guides by which to replace the anchor. Each 
[liate is provided with an eye bolt long enough to 
reach to the joint of flask.

« |-j arms, s;ind is rammetl on toji of the anchor ami 

, . 1 ■ I — , another parting made flush with the rim upon

in anchor.

deep pocket. 



524 The Moulding Room 

W'luTc the aiuliur cannot rest on ll>c bottom, IjuI must permit iron 
to run under it, il is boiled to ihc cope and lifted out with it. 

The necessities of the situation indicate the size and shape ot anchors. 
!■ requentiy, the ixjcket is such that the anchor must be broken to remove 
it from the casting. It is well to keejj down the weight of the anchors 
as much as possible, relieving the cope to that extent. 

\'er>- many cores, as well as moulds, require to be supported in this 
manner. 

Gaggers 

Tn the use of gaggers it should be borne in mind, that they are heavier 
than the sand; it is simply due to the cohesion of the sand, holding 
Uiem up to the sides of the flask or bars, that they are of assistance in 
supporting' the cope. The gagger is of use just in proportion to the 
length that is surrounded with packed sand. All that part which pro- 
jects above the cope is a detriment. They are first immersed in thick 
clay wash, and placed flat up against the bars or sides of flask, having 
about /» inch sand under them. They are made in the gagger mould, 
already described, which is kept near the cupola. Costing practically 
nothing, thcj' may be used freely. A good supply should always be 
kept on hand. 

Many shops use gaggers made of '^2 inch square bar iron bent to 
shape. They are not as serviceable, however, as they do not ofTer as 
good a surface to which the sand can adhere, and are more expensive. 

Soldiers 

Soldiers are simi)Iy jiicccs of wood about one inch square, cut from 
boards, with clay washed and placed around the mould instead of gag- 
gers, where the latter cannot be used; or to assist the gaggers in deep 
lifts. The sand adheres to soldiers better than to gaggers. 

The free use of either gaggers or soldiers is to be encouraged, as it 
is better to place too many of them in a mould than to have a drop. At 
the same time care must be exercised to have the ends well protected 
by sand, so that the hot iron will not come in contact witli them, as 
there will surely be a "blow" in that event.

Note. " The fractional parts of an inch as seen by the table are not carried out any 
further than He, for the reason that the subject does not call for any closer figiu-es.

"The term 'equivalent' used does not imply that two or more small gates having 
a combined area equal to one large gate, all having like 'head pressure,' will deliver 
the same amount of metal per second." 



526 



The Moulding Room 



"The flow of metal is retarded by friction in proportion to the surface 
area with whicli it comes in contact. Now although four 2^i-inch round 
gates are of ecjuai area to one 5-inch round gate, we find the frictional 
resistance to tiie flow of a Hke 'head pressure' through four 2!i-inclf 
round gates to be douljle that generated in one 5-inch round gate, 
simply because the comiiined circumferences of four 2J'i-inch round gates 
are 31.416 inches, whereas the circumference of one 5-inch round gate is 
15.708 inches. As gates are generally combined under varying compli- 
cated conditions, the tables as given can be better practically used than 
where they arc lumbered with the question of frictional resistance." 
Risers are generally double the diameter of the pKJuring sprue. The 

function of the riser is twofold. It 
serves to catch and carry away any 
dirt entering the mould from the pour- 
ing sprue and also to furnish a supply 
of liquid metal to provide for shrink- 
age. Risers are placed either in con- 
nection with the gate, or on some part 
of the mould whence the deficiency 
from shrinkage can be most readily 
supplied. When located on the gate 
the latter is usually so cut as to impart 
a whirling motion to the metal ascend- 
ing the riser. The metal enters the 
riser near the bottom and flows to the mould through a channel opened 
above the entrance. 

In the sketch A represents the pouring sprue, B is the riser, C the 
gate from sprue to riser which is cut tangential to B. D is the gate 
from riser to casting. The gates should be somewhat smaller in area 
than the pouring sprue so that the pouring basin E may always be kept 

fuU. 

Top Pouring Gates 

The advantage of this form of gate 
for large castings is that the dirt is 
kept at the top of the pouring basin, 
allowing the clean iron to flow into 
the mould from beneath. 

The first dash of iron may carry 
some dirt, but the greater portion 
of it will flow with the stream over 
the gates; the runner being quickly 
filled, no dirt can enter subsequently if kept full

See West's "Moulder's 



Horn Gates 



527 



Whirl Gates 

The object of the whirl gate is to impart a rotary motion to the iron 
in the basin and riser B, B. 

By centrifugal force the metal is kept in contact with the exterior 
of the riser, and the dirt is carried up in the middle of it. 
. c-^ C . 





Fig. 181. 

The riser B should be larger than the pouring sprue A , and A should 
be larger than C, in order that the pouring basin may be kept full. 

It is best to have patterns made for whirl gates; they can be used in 
either cope or drag. 

The "Cross" Skim Gate 

This as shown in Fig. 182 is an excellent device and is largely 
used. 

A is the gate leading from pouring sprue to 
basin B, C is a core in which is the gate D, 
leading to casting. The iron enters B, tangen- 
tially, a whirling motion is imparted to it carry- 
ing the dirt to the riser, 
while the clean iron flows 
out through D. 

Another form of same gate is made as shown 
in fig. 183. 

It differs from the first form simply in having 
a flat core E placed across the gate D, instead 





Fig. 182. 



Fig. 183. 
of forming a part of it 



Horn Gates 



These are principally used for bottom 
pouring, leading from the parting of 
flask to the casting below. 

They are made smaller at the point 
joining the casting to permit of easy 
removal and to choke the stream of metal. 




Fig. 184. 





The Moulding Room 

Pouring liasins have 'rcqucntly skimming 
corc^ f)laccd between the basin and the down 
sprue to iiold the dirt in basin. A pattern is 

usually made for them. 

Strainers and Spindles 

Fig. 185. Thin perforated plates from 'm to h^ inch 

thick, and wide enough to cover the entrance to pouring gate arc fre- 
quently placed in the runner 
basin over the gate. When the 
iron strikes the strainer it is held 
back until the latter is melted 
allowing the basin to fill partly, 
raising the dirt to the surface 
and furnishing clean iron to the 
gate 
purpose. 

Weights 

For medium castings, weighting the copes will be found more con- 
venient than the use of binding bars. There should be about every 
foundry a large assortment of weights depending on the class of work. 
Weights to be handled by the crane will be found more convenient, if 
made square in cross section and of whatever length desired. Holes 
are cast in the ends into which bars are inserted for lifting. Weights 
made in this way are more readily piled than if pro\ided with eye bolts. 

Chaplets 

Chaplets are properly anchors, and should come under that heading. 
They are used mostly for securing cores in place in moulds. E.xcept for 
special requirements the foundryman can procure chaplets from the 
supply houses far cheaper than he can make them. Cuts and sizes of 
the various chaplets in use are given below.

Liquid Pressure on Moulds 529 

Manufacturers of all classes of castings requiring small cores will 
readil}' observe the advantage in using a chaplet, such as is illustrated 
above. 

Made from perforated tin-plated sheet metal, insuring perfect ven- 
tilation of the chaplet, eliminating all possibilities of blow holes, air 
pockets, chills, etc., forming a perfect union with the molten metal, 
thereby insuring an absolute pressure tight joint; something not ob- 
tained with any. other chaplet on thin work. Through its use, not only 
are time and labor of the workman saved in adjusting the cores to the 
matrix of the mould, particularly on water backs or fronts, radiators, gas 
burners, pipe fittings, gas and gasoline engine work, and similar castings, 
but it also greatly lessens the liability of flaws, defects and consequent 
losses in castings, such as commonly result from the ordinary chaplets 
or anchors now in use. 

Liquid Pressure on Moulds 

The pressure of the Hquid metal at any point of the mould is deter- 
mined by multiplying the distance in inches from that point to the top 
of the metal in pouring basin by .26 pounds. The product is the pressure 
in pounds per square inch. 

To overcome this pressure laterally, reliance is placed on the rigidity 
of the flask, supported, if necessary, in deep castings by binding bars. 

The binding bars are of same character as those already described for 
holding down copes. They are tied across top and bottom of flask by 
rods, or otherwise. 

The static pressure on the cope is ascertained by multiplying the area 
of the casting in square inches, at the joint of the flask by the height 
in inches from the joint of the flask to level of iron in pouring basin 
and by .26 pounds. 

In addition to this there is the pressure due to resistance in overcoming 
the velocity of the rising iron, which pressure is measured by one-half 
the product of the weight of the rising iron by the square of the velocity. 
While this pressure may be accurately calculated with suflacient data, 
it is usually difiicult to get them, and the results are, therefore, only 
approximate. 

However, when the mould is nearly full, the pouring is slackened as 
much as possible without letting the dirt into the sprue, thereby reduc- 
ing the head and velocity, and greatly lessening the shock as the iron 
reaches the cope. 

The formulae given for determining holding down weights for copes 
are empirical. The moulder will not be led astray by calculating the 
lifting area of the mould in square inches, multiplying this by the head

The Moulding Room 



measured to pouring basin, in inches, and this product by .26 pounds. 
.\(ld .;o per cent to the result, this will make ample provision for the 
lift due to the blow of the rising iron.

CHAPTER XXIII 

MOULDING MACHINES 

The moiildinR machine has become of such importance that no foundry 
can aCford to be without it. The reduction of cost in the production 
of the classes of work for which it is adapted and the superiority of the 
product as compared with hand work render the machine absolutely 
indispensable to the successful conduct of a foundry engaged in com- 
petitive work. 

While the moulding machine is in some respects invaluable, it must 
not be supposed that its value can be realized without the exercise of a 
high order of intelligence. 

To produce accurate work by machine requires the utmost care and 
accuracy in fitting up patterns and flasks. Appliances which may be 
used successfully in hand moulding would entail disastrous results in 
machine moulding. Again, no particular machine is adapted to all 
kinds of work. It has a certain range for a certain character of pro- 
duction. Without those limits its use is not warranted. 

There are many kinds of machines, operated in various ways; by 
compressed air, hydraulic pressure, mechanical pressure, gravity and 
impact. 

It is not the purpose of this book to discuss the merits of the different 
machines. The various tj-pes have been in service long enough to 
indicate the particular class of work to which each is best adapted. 
One type of machine is best suited for light, small work; another to 
stove-plate; another to car castings, etc. 

In choice of machines the foundryman should profit by the experi- 
ence of those who have preceded him in this field, and must be especially 
cautious in not attempting to extend the range of any one tj-pe beyond 
that for which it is i)articulariy fitted. 

There are machines which simjily perform the operation of ramming; 
others which only draw the pattern, the ramming having been done 
by hand; while others perform both operations. In many instances 
the character of the work determines the function of the machine. 

It is doubtful, however, if hand ramming for deep pockets, etc., can 
be dispensed with by use of the machine. In fact, except in cases where 
the plainest character of work is produced, it is a mistake to believe 

53S 



Moulding Machines 539 

that the moulding machine does not require the services of an experienced 
moulder. 

Mr. S. H. Stupakoff, in his compreliensive paper on the moulding 
machine, referring to the object of the machine as one to save labor, to 
increase the output, to decrease cost of production, to produce uniform 
and better castings, etc., says: 

"It is obvious that it would require a complicated mechanism to per- 
form successively and successfully all the necessary operations to make 
a complete mould, even if it were only the mould of a simple pattern. 
In consequence the general equipment of a foundry which accom- 
plishes this object must be necessarily quite an elaborate and expensive 
matter. The majorit}^ of designs of moulding machines run in this 
direction, whereas in most cases it would have been better if the energy 
expended had been directed to their simplification. 

"Such tendencies lead to complications which are altogether imsuited 
for foundry practice; they meet with little favor and machines built 
upon these principles are of short life. " 

"Only the simpler moulding machines have a chance of meeting with 
more or less success, even if they perform but a few operations, provid- 
ing they perform these well. " 

"The first step in the evolution of the moulding machine was a device 
for withdrawing patterns from the sand. The next was to employ 
stripping plates, then an attempt to ram the mould by machiner>^" 

In these three operations lie the basic principles of all moulding ma- 
chines: all subsequent improvements and additions have been matters 
of detail; but to these improvements and to superior workmanship is due 
the real success of the modern moulding machine. 

In the chart (p. 549), given by Mr. Stupakofif, moulding machines 
are divided into two classes — hand and power machines. The chart 
gives the variations of each class. 

The selection and arrangement of machines, etc., is a matter governed 
entirely by the specific circumstances. Only hand machines are portable. 
They effect a great saving in the cost of carrying sand, but their use 
is limited by their size and weight. Mr. Stupakofif discusses the advan- 
tages and use of pattern plates as follows: 

"At first sight it may appear that the construction and manipulation 
of pattern plates has but little connection with moulding machines, but 
I hope that I will succeed in showing in the course of this work, that 
they are not only intimately cormected with each other, but that they 
are in fact the principal parts of all moulding machines. The lack of 
intimate knowledge of how to make use of them to the best advantage, 
the want of proper means to efifect this purpose and the wretchedly 



vio MouldinK Machines 

little effort which is made to calrh the right spirit of their nature, is 
gtru-nilly the reason why a moulding machine jjccomes an elephant on 
the hands of the moulder and an eyesore to its owner." 

The recommendations given by Mr. Stupakoff for the adoption of 
plate moulding by hand apply equally well to machine moulding. 

1. Plated patterns give the best ser\ice when used continuously. 

2. Castings which are to be produced in quantities are perferably 
moulded with plated patterns. 

3. Standard patterns are preferably plated for economic production 
in the foundrj'. 

4. Plated patterns should be made of metal to give good scr\-ice." 

5. When plated patterns are used good flasks only will insure good 
castings. 

6. .Vccurate workmanship is one of the main requisites in plated 
patterns. 

7. The use of wood patterns on plates is not excluded. 

8. AH patterns when placed on plates should be provided with 
plenty of draft. 

9. Plated metal patterns are preferably made hollow. 
10. Rapping is destructive of plates and patterns." 

The chapter on jigs is regarded of such importance that it is given 
here in full.

Jigs 

The deduction arrived at in the foregoing chapter might make it 
appear that plated patterns are not likely to find extensive use in 
jobbing foundries, whereas this is really not altogether the case. There 
is no doubt that plate moulding as now practiced, or rather as ordi- 
narily applied, is practically excluded from jobbing shops. But, if a 
plate is used in connection with a suitable jig, specially' prepared for the 
purjjose, objections are not only overcome, but the application and use 
of plates offer excellent advantages, even in such cases where only a 
small number of castings of the same pattern are required at one time. 
At best, the economic use of plated patterns is limited by the shape anrl 
size of the castings. The fundamental principle involved in their 
construction and application must be fully understood by the user, 
if satisfactory results are expected.

Irrespective of its relation to the moulding machine, it would seem that 
this subject — on its own merits — is of such importance, that it should 
be investigated by all fouiadrymen. It should specially interest the ma- 
jority of our members. I have therefore somewhat enlarged the scope 
of this treatise on the moulding machine by including a detailed study 
of the construction and modus operandi of this particular contrivance. 

To begin with, it should be understood that all plates are provided 
with guide-pin holes, which are accurately fitted to corresponding guide 
pins forming part of the flasks. Unless special flasks are used in con- 
nection with such plates the customary flask pins should not be con- 
founded with these guide pins, as they will never answer the purpose. 
In order that misconceptions in this respect may be avoided, this term 
will be adhered to in what follows, and strict distinction will be made 
between flask pins and guide pins wher- 
aver they may be mentioned in the 
course of this work. 

The guide-pin holes, G and G' , Fig. 
205, are preferably arranged on opposite 
ends of the plate, in even multiples of an 
inch, and equidistant from its center and 
on a line dividing the plate into two 
equal rectangles. There are exceptional 
cases, in which three or four guide pins 
must be used. The most serious objec- ^*^ ^°^' 

tion against this arrangement is the greater difiaculty experienced in 
locating the patterns correctly. 

Accuracy in preparing the plates becomes of the utmost importance, 
as the magnitude of all errors occurring in the original laying out is 
doubled by each subsequent operation. The guide-pin holes should be 
drilled and reamed out at right angles to the surface of the plate, and it is 
advisable to provide them with hardened and ground steel bushings. 
All guide pins should be of uniform diameter irrespective of 
the size of the plate. A pair of test pins should be kept on 
hand, which snugly fit the guide-pin holes; one-half of one of 
their ends should have been cut down to about Vi inch in 
length, leaving as remainder exactly one-half of the cylindrical 
portion (Fig. 204). If these test pins are inserted into their 
respective holes and a straight edge is placed against their 
„ flattened faces, it will serve for locating the base or the cen- 

A* IP 2 O A 

ter line of the plate, for marking off and laying out the dowel 
pin holes, arranging the patterns and checking off all work relating 
to it. 




542 



Moulding Machines 



The exact location of the center of the plate, and likewise the center of 
the llask, is found by dividing the base line from center to center guide- 
pin hole into two equal parts. Let us drill a hole C in this place (Fig. 
205), and let this hole serve as the starling jjoint for future oiHirations. 
Now we will assume that we have procured a tri-squarc with a row of 
holes drilled in each of its legs; these holes are spaced equally — say 




Fig. 205. 

I inch apart — care being taken that each row stand.s exactly in a 
straight line, and that both rows include an exact angle of 90 degrees. 
We place this square in such a manner on our plate that the hole in its 
apex corresponds with the center hole C of our plate, and insert a good 
fitting dowel pin through both. Thus we arc able to shift the square 
over the whole surface of the plate by turning it around the center pin. 
Next we bring one leg of the square over the base line of the plate and 
insert a second dowel pin (which may be shouldered if necessar>-) through 
G into the corresponding hole of our .square. Secured in this manner 
the square sliould be absolutely rigid and .should not shake to right or 
left on the surface of the plate. We now drill one hole each into the 
plate through the guides // and / of the square, then we remove the pin 
from G, turn the scjuarc around the center pin over 90 degrees, so that 
one of its legs points upward and the other one to the left, insert a dowel 
through the hole in the leg pointing upward into the top hole /' of the 
plate, and drill the hole IP; finally we turn it again over 90 degrees, 
secure it in the same manner as before, and drill the hole P. Fig. 205 



Jigs 543 

illustrates the square in the first position as located on the plate; the 
holes H'^ and /-, which are drilled subsequently, are shown in faint lines. 
In the future, we shall call these holes "pilot holes," in order to dis- 
tinguish them from others in the same plate. These four pilot holes 
include an exact rectangle or square, and each opposite pair is located 
at uniform distances from the center of plate and flask. It will be under- 
stood that it is not absolutely necessary to employ the square for drilling 
the pilot holes. For instance, after one plate has been prepared in this 
manner, this plate can serve as a jig for drilling any number of additional 
plates in the same manner by a single setting. Such an original or 
master plate is especially serviceable, if all holes are provided with good 
steel bushings. The pilot holes in connection with the center hole will 
serve us hereafter as guides for locating pattern dowels. 

Our object in view is to use this plate as a base for any and all suit- 
able patterns, and as an illustration we will arrange it for the reception 
of patterns of a globe valve and a bib cock. We will assume that the 
patterns are all in good shape and properly parted. However, they 
shall originally not have been intended for use with either moulding ma- 
chine or drawplate. Our plate and flasks are of a suitable size, but the 
job is in a hurry — as all jobs are — and we must get out quite a num- 
ber of these castings to-day. What are we going to do about it? Take 
my advice and make it in the old fashioned way, unless you are pro- 
vided with a suitable jig plate and an inexpensive, but a good small 
drill press, which was never used by your blacksmiths or yard laborers, 
but was expressly reserved for this purpose only, was always under the 
care of a mechanic who understood how to handle it, and who took pride 
in keeping it in good shape. 

This jig plate (Fig. 205) should be provided with a number of holes, 
two rows of which, at least, are drilled exactly in the same manner as 
those in the above-mentioned square; the balance is laid out prefer- 
ably, but not necessarily so, in straight and parallel hues, all equidistant 
from each other. Its dimensions should be sufficient to cover one 
corner, or one-fourth of your pattern plate. 

If these things are part of your equipment you will have easy sailing, 
and you will be better fitted to tackle the job than your competitor. 

Place this jig in such a manner in one corner of your draw plate that 
the hole (Fig. 205) corresponds with the hole C in its center; hold both 
together with dowel pins inserted into the pilot holes, and drill the holes 
through the jig into your plate, which are required for securing the 
patterns in the predetermined places. To avoid mistakes be sure that 
the hole in that particular corner of the jig, which corresponds to the 
one described as located in the apex of the square is distinctly marked 



544 



Moulding Machines 



on both sides of the jig plate — in our figure marked O — and note 
carefully which h<jlas in the jig were used for drilling the dowel holes 
into the pattern plate. Thereafter turn the jig upside down on the 
pattern i)late, insert the dowel pins again through the same holes O and 
01 into C and /', and the third one through Oil into //-, and then, as 
before, drill through the same guide holes of the jig the corresjKjnding 

dowel holes into the second quarter 
of the pattern plate. Repeat the 
same process at the lower half of the 
plate, being always careful that C and 
remain together and your plate is 
ready to receive the patterns. 

That there may be no doubt as to 
the method of operation, I suggest 
that you will refer to the two plates 
which are attached hereto, one of 
which (Fig. 206) is made on transpar- 
ent — so-called "onion skin" paper. 
The cut on the latter represents the jig. In faint lines thereon is shown 
the outline of the position of patterns, which corresponds to the arrange- 
ment of the same on the pattern plate (Fig. 207). Horizontal and \ertical

lines, which are provided with identification marks, cross all the holes 
in the jig plate. The holes which are to be used in this special case as 
guides for drilling the neccssar>' dowel pin or screw holes in the pattern 
plate are indicated by circles drawn in heavy. Thus, the holes // X 
and 8* are used for securing the globe valve body pattern, // -|- and 



Jigs 545 

/// II for the body of the bib cock, and so forth. By placing the onion 
skin in such a manner over the drawing of the pattern plate, that its 
hole corresponds with the center hole C of the latter, and 01 and OH 
respectively with /' and //', it will be noticed that the outlines repre- 
senting the patterns cover each other in both cuts. The jig placed in 
this position over the pattern plate, and secured to it by the pilot pins 
at 0, 01 and OH is used in this manner for drilling all dark lined holes 
in the right-hand upper corner of the draw plate. This being done, the 
pilot pins are withdrawn and the jig plate is reversed and turned into 
the upper left-hand corner of the pattern plate, just as if it were hinged 
at the line 01; the pilot pins are replaced into the same holes of the jig 
as before and in this position they will secure it to the pattern plate by 
entering its pilot holes C, I' and H'^. It will be observed that in this 
position also, and equally well, the outlines of the patterns in both cuts 
fall exactly together. The jig is used in this position as before, the same 
guide holes which were used in the first position in the upper right hand 
corner serve again as guides for drilling the second quarter of the pattern 
plate. Identically the same process is then repeated at the lower left 
hand and lower right-hand corners of the plate, by first turning the jig 
plate aroimd the imaginary hinge center OH, and then around 01. 

In order to prepare the patterns to suit the above conditions, we pro- 
ceed exactly in the same manner, by securing one-half of each separately, 
and always the one which has the dowel holes, at the previously deter- 
mined place on the jig plate and drilling clear through them the holes 
which coincide with those drilled previously into the pattern plate. 
The second halves of these patterns are then placed in position against 
the first (drilled) halves; they are prevented from moving sideways by 
their original dowel pins, and they may be held together by suitable 
clamps. These clamps are preferably made of a universal type which 
adapts them for use with all kinds of patterns, their lower portion being 
constructed in the shape of a frame which rests on the table of the drill 
press without rocking and which is adapted for fastening the patterns 
in such a manner that their parting faces stand parallel to the drill 
table. The half of the pattern which has been drilled first with the aid 
of the jig occupies the upper position in this clamp or drill frame, and 
the holes in this one will now serve as guides for the drill to drill the 
holes in the second half which stands directly underneath. Finally, 
have the original dowel pins of the patterns removed and fasten all 
parts separately in place on the pattern plate by either dowels or screws, 
or both, whichever may be preferable and most convenient in your 
particular case. 

If I may call your attention again to the drawings, you will observe 



546 Moulding Machines 

that \vc have prepared the pattern plate in tliis manner with four com- 
plete sets of patterns; yet we have used only two. The castings result- 
ing from the use of these plates should be jx-Tfcct as to match. The 
amount of labor required to withdraw the patterns from the sand is 
reduced to a minimum; additional time is saved by the use of a station- 
ary gate or runner on the plate, and double the quantity of castings can 
be produced in this manner with the same number of patterns and in 
the same number of flasks. .Ml this can be accomplished by making 
an effort of no lonj^cr duration than it took to describe. 

If you have followed the above description carefully, you may have 
noticed that it is not necessary to have an individual plate prepared for 
each set of patterns. Yet I thought it better to describe this method 
of preparing pattern plates and patterns for plate moulding in detail, 
than to leave room for any doubt or error. You can easily see that much 
of the time which it apparently took to get the plate and patterns ready 
for the moulder, can be saved by providing the entire surface of the plate 
with dowel holes before putting it into use. This should be done with 
the aid of the jig and in identicall)' the siime manner as has been suflfi- 
ciently explained in the foregoing. Thus, only new patterns have to 
be prepared for the purpose, and all others, which once have been fitted, 
are easily replaced and secured to their correct positions on the plate, 
providing their dowel holes were promptly provided with specific num- 
bers, letters or identification marks. The additional holes in the plate 
will not impair its working qualities, but they could be easily closed 
up with bees-wax if ol)jectionable. Finally, it is well to note that 
each plate can be used in connection with all patterns within its range, 
and that it can be kept in continuous service, while the patterns may be 
changed at will, and as often as desirable. 

While the above description may appear somewhat too e.xtended, I 
assure you that a serious mistake would have been made had the sub- 
ject been slighted merely for the sake of brevity. At the same time I will 
siiy in justification of my apparent digression, that my original sul)ject 
has not been sidetracked. .\t first sight, it may appear, that the con- 
struction and the manipulation of pattern plates has but little connection 
with moulding machines, but I hope that I will succeed in showing in 
the course of this work, that they arc not only intimately connected with 
each other, but that they arc in fact the principal parts of all moulding 
machines. The lack of intimate knowledge of how to make use of them 
to the best advantage, the want of proper means to effect this purpose 
and the wretchedly little effort which is made to catch the right spirit of 
their nature is generally the reason why a moulding machine becomes an 
elephant on the hands of a moulder and an eyesore to its owner. 



Flasks 547 

Flasks 

Good flasks are especially important in machine or plate moulding. 
To insure good results from moulding machines the flasks must be prac- 
ticaUy perfect. They must be constructed to insure firm holding of 
the moulding sand; must be stiff, light and durable. 

"The pins must be accurately fitted. The flasks, if made in sets, 
must be absolutely interchangeable. The pins should be square with 
the flask surface, must not bind and still must not fit too loosely. 

Copes and drags when assembled, must not rock or shake sideways. 

Wooden flasks, such as are used in most foundries, are not likely to 
give good results in moulding machine practice. However, if carefully 
and substantially made, there is no reason why their application in 
machine moulding should be absolutely condemned. ' 

Iron flasks are always preferable, especially since they do not shrink, 
warp or get out of joint." 

Pressed steel flasks are still more desirable. 

If wooden flasks are used they should be faced with an iron ring, 
this ring serving not only to maintain alignment, but also as a base for 
securing flask pins. Taper steel pins secured to lugs by nuts give best 
satisfaction. The holes in lugs on drags may be reamed tapering and 
the lower ends of pins turned to fit, and tapped lightly into place. After 
the flask is closed and clamped these pins may be 
removed, thus making a few pins serve for any 
number of flasks. When not in use they should 
be removed from the flasks and properly taken 
care of. The pins are sometimes cut away so as ig. 20 . 

to give them a triangular cross section, so that sand adhering to them 
may not interfere with readily inserting them in the holes. 

By continued use the pins and sockets are so worn as to be unservice- 
able. The pins, of course, are replaced by new ones, but the sockets 
must be bushed by sleel thimbles. The old holes are drilled out to 
standard size, so that the thimbles may be interchangeable. It is 
advisable to have the pin holes bushed when the flasks are made, so as 
to avoid subsequent annoyance. 

"The makers of moulding machines are undoubtedly very well aware 
of all the requirements which are covered by the observance of these 
little details. They will appreciate their importance and must admit 
that they are essential to make their machines a success. Yet to my 
knowledge these facts have never been mentioned. Is this information 
kept from the foundryman purposely, that he may not be scared from 
the purchase of machines? If he should be told all this he might in the 
first place think of the expense, and next that his moulders cannot get

used to refinement of this kiml, which hy the way is not a very creditable 
opinion. lUil if lie i)uys one or more of the machines olTercd, he cannot 
help hndinj; all this out lieforc lon^;, to his own chagrin. He may throw 
the machines away, or persist in the use of them and pay dearly for his 
experience. .\11 this vexation could have been prevented in the first 
place and at a reasonable cost, had he been furnished in connection with 
the machine, with jigs, sample flasks, pins, etc., and above all with the 
necessary information to which he was entitled." Many failures to 
introduce and maintain labor-saving devices can be traced to the lack 
of intelligent instructions sent with them. 

Mr. StupakofI further discusses in detail the dilTercnt kinds of ma- 
chines remarking: "It is a grievous mistake to think that a moulding 
machine of any description will replace a skilled moulder. There is no 
less ingenuity required to produce good castings on a machine than to 
make them by hand. 

"A moulder is aided by his experience and bj' his good judgment. A 
machine hand (customarily selected from unskilled labor) has nothing 
to offer but his muscle and good will. These qualities . . . are but 
poor substitutes for the dexterity of an e.vpert. Therefore, under 
ordinary circumstances the chances are but slight to obtain good cast- 
ings and good results by mechanical means which are imperfectly under- 
stood and subject to reckless abuse by hands which are unquestionably 
green in the business. 

Owners of moulding machines should not e.xpect mar\-el3 from an 
inert piece of mechanism, but it is safe to say they will seldom fail in 
their calculations if they are satisfied with a reasonable increased pro- 
duction, provided they are willing to pay the best possible attention to 
their manipulation." 

Messrs. McWilliams and Longmuir in discussing the advantages of 
moulding machines conclude their remarks as follows: 

"With ordinary small work, such as is usually included in boxes up 
to 14 inches by i5 inches, the greatest time consumers are (i) ramming, 
(2) jointing , and (3) setting cores. Jointing is largely obviated with 
a good odd-side, and altogether so with a plate. Ramming by the aid 
of a press reduces the time occupied to that required for the pulling 
forward of a lever. 

Obviously, then, the greatest time consumers, wnth one exception, 
Tna.y be very considerably reduced by the simple and inexpensive aid 
offered by plate moulding and the hand press. " 

The exception referred to is that of setting cores, which holds good 
with all forms of mechanical moulding. Pattern drawing does not take 
up so much time as is usually supposed. With machines, jointing and

IKiUcrn drawing arc eliminated and in certain cases, the initial outlay 
is comparatively small. 

On standard, but changing work, our Ijcst results in machine prac- 
tice have Ijccn obtained from the hand j)ress sup|)lemcnted. in case of 
deep patterns, such as flanged \alve Ixxlics, etc., by the hand rammed 
pattern ckawing machine. Accessories in cither case are not costly; 
the output is high and the quality good. Our best results on standard 
work, in which one plate could be run for at least 300 moulds, have been 
obtained from a pneumatic vibrator machine. 

If the same plate could be run over a period of four or five days 
without changing, then production costs fall very con.sidcrably. . . . 

Whatever may be said to the contrary, stripping plate machines 
involve costly accessories, but this outlay is warranted if the patterns 
are of a sufliciently standard character. These machines are esi)ecially 
good on intricate patterns, such as small spur wheels or others having 
little or no taper on the sides. While hand machines of any type 
represent a low first cost, the cost of subsequent accessories must not be 
forgotten. 

Power machines represent a higher initial and maintenance cost, 
but if they can be maintained in constant operation, they give a low 
production cost. Finally, the chief drawback to the further develop>- 
ment of machine moulding of any t>-pe occurs in core making and core 
setting. 

An improvement in the mechanical production of irregular cores will 
result in a very considerable advance in machine practice." 

The following remark is quoted from page 131, same book: 

"As a rule we have found that while the initial cost of the machine 
is not considered, the after cost of the accessories is cut down to the 
narrowest possible margin. This is short sighted for if mechanical aids 
are adopted, there must be no half measures, or failure will inevitably 
follow. It cannot be too strongly urged that the cost of a machine 
represents only the beginning of expenditure." 



CHAPTER XXIV 

CONTINUOUS MELTING 

There are some large shops where the processes of melting and mould- 
ing are carried on continuously. In some instances the moulds are made 
in one department, taken on trucks to the neighborhood of cupola, 
where they are filled; then to the dumping floor where the flasks are 
knocked out, and sent along on same truck to moulding floor. The 
manner of conducting this operation at the Westinghouse Foundry is 
described by Mr. Sheath, and is given in substance further on. In 
other shops, where work of the character of iron bedsteads is produced, 
the operation is also continuous, but the pouring is done in the ordinary 
way. 

The management of the cupola is practically the same as in the ordi- 
nary foundry, except that the melter must have means for controlling 
the blast, so that he may increase or decrease the supply of air as the 
demand for melted iron may be greater or less. The cupola is run con- 
tinuously from 7 A.M. to 6 p.m. with an interval of one hour at noon. 

In respect to the cupola Mr. Sheath's advice is: "See that the coke 
bed is burning evenly all around, then charge just as you would for an 
ordinary run, allowing an extra amount of coke for the dinner hour. 
After running about an hour open the slag hole and keep it open, except 
during the dinner hour. Use about 40 to 50 pounds of limestone to the 
ton of molten metal — better use too much than too httle. Have the 
cupola shell large enough, as it is easy to put in an extra hning for smaller 
heats." 

"The Westinghouse Company have in their foundry at Wilmerding, 
Pa., three cupolas, one 60 inches, two 70 inches, inside lining. When 
running full, i.e., night and day, we melt 280 tons, running each cupola 
about ten hours. We have operated one cupola from Friday night at 
6 o'clock, until Saturday noon the following day, closing down at 
1 1 P.M. for one-half hour for lunch, and again at 6.30 in the morning for 
three-quarters of an hour for breakfast. This is rather hard on the 
lining so we do not make a practice of it. We have tried a great many 
experiments with cupolas, but as yet have been imable to find any that 
will give better results than the double row of tuyeres. It is not neces- 
sary^ to keep the upper ones open all the time. Our blast pressure is 

551 



552 Continuous Melting 

about II ounces in the cupola l)ustle. When running full we melt ten 
to eleven pounds of iron to one pound of coke. . . . 

All charges are the same from beginning to the end of the heat. 

As the iron must come very soft and uniform we do not charge more 
than 4000 pounds at one time. 

In the discussion of his paper at the Cincinnati meeting of the Amer- 
ican Foundrymcn's Association, May, 1910, Mr. Sheath gave much 
interesting information, which is summarized briefly. 

Blast pressure, 1 1 ounces. 

Little metal is held in cupola, consequently tuyeres are ver>' low. 

We are ready to tap almost after the whistle blows in the morning. 

The melting is fast or slow as the moulds appear for jwuring. 

More coke is used for a small heat and slow melting, than with a 
large heat and rapid melting." 

The sand is conveyed to the moulding machines by overhead redpro- 
cating conveyors. Mr. Sheath's description of the pouring table is 
as follows: 

"I might describe how we handle what we call our No. 2 table for 
No. 2 work. On that table there are castings, a great many of them 
measuring only a few inches. Notwithstanding the small size of the 
castings, we were running 52 tons ofif that table alone on a lo-hours run, 
showing what a great amount of metal can be used up under the con- 
tinuous process in pouring small castings. We move the table at the 
rate of 20 feet per minute. .\ drag is put on. There are cores in it. 
As it passes up the core setters set the cores. Then the cope is put 
on. It then goes around to the casters in front of the cupola, which is 
connected with an endless control system. The casters ha\e a ladle 
which can be raised or lowered by hand. They step on the table and 
travel with it, pouring anywhere from two moulds to a half dozen or a 
dozen, and by the time they are poured ofif, they are off at that end, and 
they can ride back to the cupola." 

They do that all day long. The table is not supposed to stop, 
but just goes right straight ahead. It moves at the rate of about 21 feet 
a minute, which allows them to core up, cast, cover down and all. The 
core-setters walk with the platform and become very e.xpert. 

In some moulds we put in eight cores and two or three anchors 
at the same time, and it would take more than one man to do the 
coring. 

Sometimes one man will core it, sometimes it takes two. The 
casters move right along with the table, take their ladle, and travel with 
it, the same as if they were on the floor. 

One man handles a ladle that holds from 60 to 70 pounds. 



Continuous Melting 553 

The sand does not ball up, because we do not carry it very far 
with the conveyor. In the iron foundry from the time we make the 
mould and pour, until the mould is shalien out, that same sand is back 
again in twenty minutes. The sand is not touched by the men in any 
way. It simply goes down through the conveyor. The sand drops 
through the grating and is wet there and then taken overhead to the 
machine. 

The lowest we have ever run was 40 to 50 tons. We have run as 
low as 5 tons an hour. This takes a little more lining up. 

The economy comes in the room occupied by the moulds and the 
handling of the sand. The sand that we pour into, is back to the ma- 
chine again in twenty minutes. We get the sand, the flasks and every- 
thing back empty every twenty minutes. There is a very little jarring 
about the platform. We have rebuilt one after running it nineteen 
years. 

There is very little shake to it if it is working right. We use both 
the hydraulic and pneumatic moulding machines. . . . 

The cutting of the cupola lining as compared with ordinary practice 
varies in proportion to the length of time in blast. We do not have 
any trouble from slag. At 12 o'clock all the metal is tapped out. We 
tap for slag twenty minutes before twelve and run it all out. The 
blast is shut off and metal run out before twelve. All the openings are 
stopped up. Very little iron comes down after the blast is stopped. 

The cupola is drained before starting to work again and the blast 
put on at full pressure so as to heat up quickly. Perhaps 300 pounds 
metal is pigged before operations are resumed. 

The smallest output any one day was 50 tons. I do not consider 
that the continuous process would pay if the production was as low as 
20 or 30 tons per day. If there were no moulding machines the process 
would be economical upon a basis of two tons per hour." 

When asked as to injury from jarring, Mr. Sheath replied: 

"We make some moulds that have thirteen pockets hanging down in 
our smooth moulds; but there are much larger moulds which we have not 
put on the table at all, because our green sand cores are just held by a 
few fingers, and we would not risk putting them on. But we make 
lots of moulds that have quite deep pockets hanging down, and there is 
very little jarring to it. The table has a slow movement which elimi- 
nates jarring. 

The displacing of the sand in the mould gives very little trouble. 

The continuous system is adapted only for heats where the metal 
is of same character throughout. If two grades of metal are used they 
should be melted in separate cupolas. 



554 Continuous Moiling 

The moulds may l)c m.idc by machine or on the floor, and the table 
used for pouring anything j)laccd on it. 

Our conveyor makes a complete revolution in twenty minutes. We 
find in our line of work that the moulds and oistings will be cold enough 
by the time they travel to the shaking out end. 

The flasks are all iron and when shaken out arc immediately put 
back on the tabic and carried to the moulding machine. They are 
carried entirely by the conveyor. 

Our castings are not hcaxy. The sand is hot when it is shaken out, 
but when it is wet and elevated and shaken back and forward in the 
reciprocating conveyor, by the time it gels to the machine and iron 
patterns it is all right. We have to keep the patterns warm to prevent 
the sand from slicking to them. 

Cores placed in hot sand will draw dampness. This feature was 
provided for. Our heaviest work is with flasks containing two castings 
which together weigh 45 pounds. Other flasks contain from thirty- 
two to forty castings, weighing a few ounces each. 

I am familiar with a foundry where the cupola is 36 inches inside the 
lining. It is run from 7 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., continuously. The product 
is 60 tons per day. The sand is conveyed from the shaking out stand to 
the machines. Casting is continuous. 

I am unable to say how small an output could be economically' pro- 
duced by this system. My experience is on a production from 50 to 
280 tons. With us the casters do nothing but cast, the machine men 
do nothing but mould and the shakers-out do nothing but shake out. 

We have had no trouble with freezing at the tap hole during the 
noon shut down. " 

As regards melting losses, Mr. Sheath was uncertain whether there 
were records or not. His opinion was that it runs from three to four 
per cent. The gates and sprues are returned to the cupola without 
cleaning. 

"The pouring is done by a man moving with the table. The table 
is large enough for a man to stay on it with the mould. There is an 
overhead traveler, which travels with him as he is pouring. As soon 
as he has poured off and is at the end of his trolley line, he steps off the 
table and comes right back to the cupola. The coring is done by men 
standing and dropping in the cores as the moulds pass, or maybe taking 
a couple of steps, depending on the number of cores. The table does 
not stop from 7.15 a.m. until 12 M. unless for some special cause." 

Mr. G. K. Hooper, in the discussion on Mr. Sheath's paper, remarked 
in response to the inquirj* as to the minimum production for which the 
continuous process can be economically employed: 



Multiple Moulds 555 

"That it was not so much a question of tonnage as of the number 
of moulds to be poured." The handling of a smaller tonnage than that 
mentioned by Mr. Sheath, if distributed over a large number of moulds 
would unquestionably be productive of great economy if performed 
mechanically and continuously. The mould is the unit which must be 
employed in determining whether the continuous system can be applied 
to any particular production." 

Mr. Hooper also states that 20 minutes are not necessary for the 
manipulation and cooling of the sand. He had experience with a 
plant where the sand was returned in six minutes. 

His further experience is that the foundry losses are less than are met 
with in the same class of work made on the floor. 

Belts are more desirable than conveyors for moving sand. Rubber 
belts are better suited for the purpose^than canvas. Flat belts are 
better than those which are troughed, and wide belts moving slowly 
are better than narrow ones at high speed. 

A drag or scraper conveyor is the best for distributing sand to the 
hoppers over the moulding machines. It is preferably made of wooden 
troughs and flights. 

Nettings, riddles, sieves, bolts and nuts are best made of phosphor 
bronze. 

It is possible to handle all the sand required by productions up to 
100 tons of castings per day, or more, with two men; even though as 
much as 100 tons of sand per hour may be passing through the system. 

He has subjected moiflds to very rough treatment to determine the 
liability of injury from jarring and confirms Mr. Sheath's statement 
that no trouble arises from this cause. 

Mr. Hooper commends a system wherein the moulds are carried by an 
overhead trolley and allowed to swing freely except at the point where 
the pouring was done. Less power is required, less wear entailed, and 
the expense is less. 

The continuous system is in no sense experimental. Its worth is demon- 
strated by use through many years in many large shops. . . . By means of 
mechanical handling systems in the foundry, the eSiciency of the workman 
is increased from 10 to 50 per cent. The average wage can often be re- 
duced somewhat; the foundry loss is decreased; the floor space reduced; 
in fact by such appliances only can the full capacity of moulding machin- 
ery be realized. 

Multiple Moulds 

When several moulds are stacked one on top of another and poured 
from a common sprue connecting to each mould, the process is styled 
multiple moulding. 



5S6 



Continuous Melting 



The top and bottom sections arc like the coikj and drag of the ordinary 
mould; each intcrmcdiule section forms the drag for that immediately 
above and the cope for the one directly below. 

A numljcr of these sections, perhaps ei^hl or even nine, are piled on 
top of each other and the ixjuring gate extends from the top coi^c to the 



jS

bottom drag. The special advantages of the sj^stem result from the 
reduction of floor space, the amount of sand used; the nimiber of flasks 
required, and the labor of pouring off. 

Mr. E. H. INIumford, in a paper presented to the American Foundry- 
men's Association, stated: "That the reduction in the amoimt of sand 
used and in the number of flasks is 37 per cent; and in floor space 
88 per cent below that required for ordinary floor moulding. " 



Multiple Moulds 



557 



The pouring may be done with a crane ladle; therefore, one of the 
great difficulties encountered in pouring off machine floors is eliminated. 
The great weight of sand, together with good clamping overcomes the 
tendency of straining.

As originally practiced this method of moulding covered the piling of 
ordinary moulds, one above the other, and pouring from a common gate. 
The advantages were confined to reduced floor space and reduction of 
pouring difficulties. Subsequently each intermediate section was 
made to serve as a cope and drag; but the process was confined to pat- 



558 



Coiilinuous Melting 



Icnis having |)lanc bases, lljc drag having simply a flat surface. Thb 
limilaliun arose from the diflkully entountcretl in obtaining good 
moulds by pressing the patterns into the sand to form the drag. Later 
it was found that by bringing the drag up suddenly against the prcsscr 
head, the sand was made by its inertia to take the imi)ression of the 
pattern equally as well as when pressed from above. The scope of the 
process was immediately enlarged and although the method is not as yet 
c.\tensi\cly emjjloyed there seems to be a reasonable jirobability that 
it may be extended to cover the range of moderately small work now 
made by mechanical processes. 

The cut above (Fig. 209) shows a machine of this character designed 
for making chilled plow points. 

The moulds in jwsition for clamping, and samples of castings made 
are shown in cuts above (Tig. 210-215). 



Permanent Moulds 

Moulds of more or less pcrniancnc^- made in loam, and moulds for chilled 
work, such as car wheels, etc., have long been in use, but moulds of a 
permanent character have only recently been used for extended lines 
of castings which are not chilled. 

The management of the cupola, melting and pouring are ver>' much 
the same as pursued in the continuous process already described. 

The moulds are either mounted on frames near the cupola or are placed 
on revolving tables. 

The iron from which the moulds are made must be soft enough for 
machining; it must be strong and of suitable composition to stand 
repeated heating without warping; it must also have a close structure 
to withstand the abraiding action of hot metal. The moulds are very 
heavy so that the mass of iron may carry away the heat rapidly from 
the casting and at the same time not permit its temperature to rise 
above 300° or 400° F. Keeping the temperature within these limits 
reduces the frequenc>' with which the mould may be used. The moulds 
are machined at the joints and preferably hinged; the outside of the 
lower half of mould is also machined on the bottom. 

Mr. Richard H. Probcrt of Louisville, Ky., in a paper read at the 
Cincinnati meeting of the .A.mcrican F"oundr\Tnen's Association gave 
the following analysis for moulds which had gi\cn good results:

Permanent Moulds 559 

He also states that he had used moulds made from high carbon steels 
for castings having sharp thin projections. In constant use these moulds 
become roughened, but are not burnt or eaten away, as with cast-iron 
moulds. 

He likewise suggests that pressure applied to the moulds immediately 
after pouring would result in castings presenting sharp clean lines of 
great density and strength. 

Mr. Edgar A. Custer of Tacony, Pa., presented at the same meeting 
a most interesting paper on the same subject and also submitted many 
sample castings, made by this process. Without giving definite informa- 
tion as to sizes of moulds with respect to patterns, he impressed the 
necessity for great mass in them. For instance, a mould for a 2-inch soil 
pipe T, weighs 500 pounds; one for a 3-inch trap 1700 pounds. In a 
mould for 4-inch soil pipe weighing 65 pounds, there were 6500 pounds 
iron. Castings were made in this mould every seven minutes without 
raising its temperatiu^e over 300° F. 

He found that it is unnecessary to coat the moulds, but that their 
temperature must be sufficiently high to prevent the condensation of 
moisture before casting. If the castings are removed from the moulds 
immediately upon setting, there is little trouble about sticking after 
60 to ICO castings have been made. The moulds improve by continued 
use, but how long they will last is imknown. He has now in use a mould 
in which 6000 castings have been made and it shows no signs of deterio- 
ration. The life of a mould depends not so much on the number of cast- 
ings made in it as upon the number of times it has been allowed to 
become entirely cold and then reheated. Continuous pouring, when 
correctly timed so as to preserve a generally even temperature, has but 
very slight tendency to crack the mould. If the castings are removed 
from the mould as soon as they have set sufiiciently to handle, there is 
with proper mixture no appearance of chill when cold. This was shown 
by a number of samples which had been machined. The iron was soft, 
and was readily filed on the parts not machined. 

Cores are made of cast iron, and if straight, or curved in circular 
shape, can easily be removed from the castings, if taken out quickly 
while the casting is at a bright red. It is altogether probable that the 
time to remove the castings is at any period after setting and prior to 
the third expansion, and that the core should be removed during the 
third expansion. See Keep's "Cast Iron," Chapter VIII. The iron 
must be melted very hot. ]\Ir. Custer's view is that the percentage 
of silicon may range between 1.75 and 3 per cent. The mixture in use 
by him is as follows:

Mr. Custer summarizes as follows: 

"Any casting that can be poured in a sand mould can be poured in an 
iron mould. If the iron is hot enough to run in green sand mould it will 
surely run in an iron mould. 

Iron that is suitable for radiator fittings, or brake shoes, or any 
other class of duplicate work that is made in sand, will be suitable for 
the use of permanent moulds. The same e.xperience that shows the 
foundryman what is best for sand moulding can be applied in |)ermanent 
mould work. 

It is true that a somewhat wider range of iron can be used in per- 
manent moulds for the same class of work than is the case in sand mould- 
ing, but any change from the general practice in selecting irons for any 
particular class of work must be made with a great deal of care. It is of 
course a subject that demands close and incessant study, and every 
manufacturer who wishes to use permanent moulds must give the same 
care and thought to this method that he has given to those previously 
employed. " 

Interesting information was brought out in the discussion of Mr. 
Custer's paper which is summarized below. 

Temperature of moulds is not allowed to exceed 300° F.; the pouring 
is proportioned at intervals so as not to exceed that temperature. 

It takes 25 seconds to make a 4-inch soil pipe T. No sand used in 
the core. The core for this mould was shown, which had been in con- 
stant use for thirteen months. 

The mould for a 2-inch T weighed 500 pounds, the T itself weighs 
8! J pounds. 

The core with which the T was made was shown. It had been in use 
seven months during which i>eriod 3500 castings were made. 

A casting can be made from it e\cr)- forty-five seconds throughout 
the day. 

No precaution is taken against shrinkage. Chilling quicklj- to point 
of set makes castings homogeneous, reducing shrinkage strains to a min- 
imum. A trap weighing 42 pounds made on a sand core was shown. 
One is made every seven minutes. The mould weighs 1900 pounds. 
The casting is taken out within four seconds after pouring. 

No special care is taken to keeji the moulds from dampness. They 
are simply \snped out carefully before using. The core, upon which a 



Centrifugal Castings 561 

four-inch pipe, 5 feet 3 inches long was made, was shown. The pipe 
was H inch thick and weighed 65 pounds. The core had Me inch taper 
in the whole length. 

The pouring table revolves once in yii minutes. There are on it 
35 pipe moulds, and a casting is produced every fifteen seconds. 

In a ten-hour run at this rate of production, the temperature of the 
moulds never exceeds 250° F. The operations are automatic. With a 
2-inch pipe, the casting can be taken from the mould within three seconds; 
it must not be allowed to remain in mould over six seconds. With a 
six-inch pipe, the time of removal is from five to sixteen seconds. 

One man operates the table, pouring and removing the pipe, cleaning 
out the moulds, and setting the cores. The iron is white hot as it comes 
from the cupola. No attention is paid to coating the moulds; they are 
wiped out from time to time with a greasy rag if any dirt is present. 
The heaviest castings made are 6-inch pipes weighing no pounds each. 

Gates are made larger than in green sand practice. 

JMr. Custer did not consider the phosphorus content of importance. 
He prefers iron 0.5 to i.o per cent phosphorus on account of fluidity. 

Chilling occurs so quickly that there is no segregation. The tensile 
strength of castings made in iron moulds is about 30 per cent greater than 
that of same character made in sand. 

Brake shoes are left in the mould seven seconds. It takes about a 
minute to make a brake shoe. The castings do not warp. 

Six-inch pipes can be laid on the pile within 20 seconds after casting. 

The silicon content should not be lower than 1.75 per cent, sulphur 
should be below 0.05 per cent, total carbon high as possible not below 
2.65. 

Has used 70 per cent scrap with pig carrying 3 per cent silicon. 

Centrifugal Castings 

In 1809, Anthony Eckhardt of Soho, England, was granted a patent 
for making castings in rotating moulds, procuring in this manner either 
hoUow or solid castings. Nothing favorable seems to have resulted 
from the scheme. 

In 1848, Mr. Lovegrove attempted to make pipes in this manner. 
Subsequently a Mr. Shanks patented the same method in England. 
Sir Henry Bessemer endeavored to remove the gases from steel castings 
by a similar process. 

About the same time a Mr. Needham endeavored to apply the method 
to making car wheels. So far as can be learned nothing of practical 
value resulted from these efforts. It is said that car wheels are now 
made in Germany in this way using a high carbon steel for the rim and 



562 Continuous Melting 

soft material for the rciiler. The moulfJ is made to revolve about 120 
times |)er minute while jwuring. The (irinciple is use<l by dentists success- 
fully, and there seems to be no good reason why it could not be applied 
to some classes of iron castings where difTiculty is encountered in running 
delicate parts, or to obtain inc reased density at the iM;ri[)hery. 

Castings vinder Pressure 

Attempts have been made to submit the li(|uid iron to pneumatic 
or hydraulic pressure in order to eliminate fxsrosity or shrinkage cavi- 
ties. So far these have been entirely experimental; the successful 
application of the idea would remove all doubt as to shrinkage in rims 
of fly wheels or in similar castings, where undiscoverable defects may 
exist. 

Direct Casting 

Making castings directly from the furnace has been practiced more 
or less since the discovery of reducing iron from the ores. But by 
reason of the presence of impurities and gases, which are to a greater 
or less extent eliminated in the process of refining in the cupola, the pro- 
duction of castings by the direct process has never been followed to 
any extent. In fact, except for quantities of large coarse castings, or 
an occasional piece required at the furnace, it may be said that the 
process has been entirely disregarded. The presence of kish in large 
quantity has been the greatest obstacle to contend with. The use of a 
receiver with reheating provision, in connection with manganese would 
seem to indicate a solution of this difTiculty, especially for pipes and 
other coarse castings, where the physical characteristics are not matters 
of vital importance. 

In view of the advancement in modern metallurgy, it is more than 
probable that commercial competition will turn manufacturers of prod- 
ucts for which such iron is suitable to further efforts in this direction. 

Carpenter Shop and Tool Room 

In every foundry the services of a carpenter and machinist are more 
or less in demand. In the larger works it is found most convenient to 
devote separate space to each. 

The carpenter shop should be given suflBcient room for construction 
and repair of wood flasks, bottom boards, etc., and with its equipment 
of benches, trestle, etc., should be provided with a cut-off saw. 

The tool room should have a drill press and small lathe. Unless there 
is a laboratory connected with the works, the testing machines are con- 
veniently located in the tool room. 



Tumblers 



563 



The Cleaning Roona 

The cleaning room should be adjacent to the moulding room, but 
separated from it by a wall or partition to exclude the dust and dirt 
from the foundry. 

Where the work is heavy there should be proper facilities in the way 
of tracks and cranes. The necessary equipment comprises tumbling 
barrels, brushes, chipping (either hand or pneumatic) and grinding 
apparatus. 

The sand blast is also of the greatest value. 



Tumblers 

The shape, size and number of tumblers depend entirely upon the 
character and volume of the work. Tumblers are made to revolve 
about inclined or horizontal axes. Those having inclined axes are used 
for very light castings, brass, forgings, etc. They are seldom found in 
the ordinary foundry. The barrel may be tilted for loading or dis- 
charging. The following cut shows the general character of this type. 
They vary in size as re- 
quired. 

Fig. 216 shows the No. 
2 machine mounted with 
28-inch cast-iron barrel in 
partially lowered position 
preparatory to dumping. 

This machine is designed 
along the same lines as the 
No. I tumbler excepting that 
it is much heavier and the 
crank shaft is back geared 2 
to I, making the raising and 
lowering of the barrel when 
heavily loaded quick and 
easy. It is driven by tight and loose pulleys 16 inches in diameter by 
3%-inch face, and will take barrels from 22 to 36 inches diameter, of 
wood, cast iron, steel, wrought brass and cast brass. The tumbling 
process may be wet or dry as desired, and the design of the machine 
is such that the barrel may be located at any required angle while in 
motion, to suit quantity of work being operated upon, and lowered to 
empty by means of the crank, ratchet and pawl. It has a belt shifter 
not shown in cut.

The ordinary horizontal tumbler is from 30 to 36 inches in diameter 
and from 4 to 6 feet lonj;. It may revolve on trunnions or on friction 
rollers. 

The barrel is made up of cast-iron slaves .securely bolte<l to the heads, 
and with closely fitting joints. The peripheral speed should be about 
90 feet per minute. They are used singly, in pairs, or in batteries. 
The castings, large and small, are packed as closely as possible in the 
barrels, together with a quantity of shot, sprues or stars. .cVny un- 
occupied space is filled by pieces of wood. If any of the castings are 
delicate they are tumbled by themselves, so as to avoid breakage. It is 
not uncommon to tumble castings weighing 600 to 800 pounds; they 
must be packed very closely, however. The length of time that castings 
must be rattled to clean them depends entirely upon the intricacy of 
the shapes. While ten minutes may answer for some, others may 
require 30 minutes or even an hour. 

The injury to castings from grinding away sharp comers or angular 
projections arises from the improper packing or too long continued 
tumbling. Since the dust comes from the tumblers in great volume, 
as an act of humanitj', they should either be enclosed, or provided with 
exhaust fans. The dust may be carried to a water seal, or discharged 
outside the shop. 

The cuts following show several varieties of tumblers manufactured. 
Usually each shop makes its owti tumblers, so that the patterns may be 
at hand for repairs.

Friction-driven Exhaust Tumbling Milla 




These mills are especially adapted to be run in gangs from one shaft 
and one driving pulley. They can be stopped or started independently 
or may be remo\ed with contents from the driving frame by crane and 
conveyed to any part of the foundry. Mills may be equipped at small 
extra cost with reversing device, permitting rotation in either direction, 
mills still remaining portable and interchangeable. 

They combine strength with simplicity. 

Mr. Outerbridge discovered that the strength of castings was increased 
by tumbling. Following up this discover)' Mr. Keep determined that 
the increase of strength by tumbling ceased after two hours treatment, 
that the increase in strength was due to smoothing and pressing the 
surface, closing any incipient cracks and openings. 

Chipping 

Much of the chipping must 1)C done In- hand. The pneumatic hammer 
has, however, superseded the hand chisel to a great e.\tent. There are 
few foundries not equipped with this de\ice. 

Grinding 
To finish castings properly, the fins and gate spots should be ground. 
In addition to the ordinar>' emer>' wheel, the portable wheel driven by a 
flexible shaft is employed advantageously. 

The Sand Blast 

This appliance is of the greatest importance. More surface can be 
cleaned with it in a given time than by any other means except the 
rattler. The use of the other appliances above mentioned is not dis- 
placed by it, however, as there are many recesses about castings wliich 
are protected from the blast, and which must be cleaned by hand. 

The importance of properly cleaning castings should not be over- 
looked. No matter how well made or how good in respect of material, 
if ihcy are sent from the cleaner in a slovenly condition, their commercial 
value is greatly impaired. 



Pickling 567 

Pickling 

Formerly pickling castings was largely employed, but of recent years, 
by reason of the improved facings used, the practice is not so much 
followed. Nevertheless there are places about castings from which the 
sand is not properly removed by the ordinary processes, and again 
some machine shops prefer pickled castings, as the cutting edges of 
their tools are not injured so quickly, by reason of the entire removal 
of the sand. This process is also followed where the castings are to be 
galvanized or tinned, as it leaves clean metallic surfaces. 

For pickling, either sulphuric or hydrofluoric acid is used, the former 
more commonly. The acid solution must be weak ; one part of ordinary 
vitriol to four or six parts of water attacks the iron rapidly, whereas the 
undiluted acid has no effect. 

In diluting the acid, care must be taken to pour the acid into the 
water, and not the water into the acid. Dilute sulphuric acid dissolves 
the iron in contact, thereby loosening the sand. The action is more 
rapid with warm than with hot solution. 

This solution, when applied to castings, will loosen the sand scale in 
from one to twelve hours, depending upon the thickness of the scale. 
The acid solution is kept in a lead-Uned wood vat. The vat should 
be about two feet deep, the other dimensions varying with the amount 
of castings to be treated. At the bottom of the vat is a wooden grating 
fastened together by wood dowels. The grating is held down by lead 
weights. It must be high enough above the bottom of the vat for the 
sand to drop through. Upon this grating the castings rest as they are 
immersed. 

After remaining in the bath the requisite length of time, they are 
removed and thoroughly washed with hot water. The acid must be 
completely removed or they will rust. It is a good plan to dip them in 
a strong solution of lye or soda before washing. 

Another practice is to place a lead-hned platform so that one edge 
may overhang one end of the vat; the platform incUning a couple of 
inches toward the vat, and having the remaining edges raised two inches, 
so that all the drainage may be into the vat. Upon this platform is 
placed a wood grating, and the castings on the grating. The pickle is 
then dipped from vat with an iron bucket and poured over the castings. 

They are washed thoroughly with the pickle, so that there may be 
no sand surface which has not been saturated. It may be necessary 
to repeat the operation more than once. When the sand scale begins 
to loosen, the castings are removed and washed as before. The washing 
may be done with a hose while the castings are on the bed, but in such 



568 Continuous Melting 

case [wovision must be made to ( arr)' off the water in a trough so that 
it may not enter the vat. 

The strength of the solution must l>e ke|)t up Ijy addition of fresh 
acid from lime to time. 

Hydrofluoric Acid 

Where this acid is used for pickHng, the solution should \ie one part 
of 48 per cent acid to 30 parts of water. Hydrofluoric acid dissolves 
the sand instead of acting on the iron. The treatment of the castings 
is the same as with the \itriol, l)ut the sand must be removed from below 
the grating, otherwise the acid will be rapidly neutralized. 

The workmen should be cautioned in handling cither of these acids 
as they cause severe bums, if they come in contact with the flesh. 
Where acid is spilled on the flesh or clothing, wash the parts freely with 
water and then with dilute ammonia. Raw linseed oil applied to bums 
produces a soothing effect. 

Hydrofluoric acid leaves the surface of the castings bright and clean, 
and is, therefore, best for electroplating.

WATER SUPPLY, LIGHTING, HEATING AND 
VENTILATION 

Water Supply 

Provision for water supply to the foundry is a matter of the first 
importance. If water cannot be obtained from the pubUc mains, facil- 
ities for pumping and distributing must be provided. The system 
must be so arranged, either by elevated tanks or otherwise, as to fiu'nish 
water under a pressure of from 25 to 30 pounds. While the supply 
must be abundant, the natural tendency to its wasteful use must be 
suppressed. 




Fig. 241. — Water Box and Hose Connection. 

Conveniently located near the cupola for ciuenching the dump, should 
be a hydrant with hose attached, ready for immediate use. Pipes should 
be so run about the foundry that taps may be conveniently distributed 
for wetting down the floors and sprinkling the sand heaps; each floor 
must have easy access to the sprinkling hose. Ample provision should 
be made for drinking; basins near the drinking fountains, in which to 
bathe their arms and faces, add greatly to the comfort of the workmen. 

The illustrations herewith, taken from the Iron Age, show provisions

Running water should be supplied at the closets. In many foundries 
of recent construction, wash basins, shower baths and lockers arc pro- 
vided, enabling the men to wash and change their clothes before leaving 
the works. The free use of water implies, of course, a system of sewer- 
age. Care must be taken to avoid puddles or wet six)ts about the floors. 
The matter of water supply for fire protection is entirely indefjendenl 
of that for foundry purposes, and should be provided for separately. 




Fig. 242. — Porcelain Washbowls and Sled Lockers in Lavatory. 



Lighting 

Next to water supply in importance is the matter of lighting. Many 
foundries are deficient in this respect and sufTer either in the character 
or quantity of product from improper lighting. Daylight is invaluable, 
and should he utilized to the fullest extent. In the construction of 
foundry buildings, the windows should be tall and as close together as 
the character of the structure will permit; they should not e.xtend 
lower than four feet from the floor. A modern construction showing 
the sides of the building made almost entirely of glass is showni in the 
engraving below. 

Windows in the moniter should be swi\-eled and arranged to op>en easily 
for ventilation. Skylights are to be avoided if possible, as they cause 
no end of annoyance. The weaxnng-shed roof gives excellent results, 
and is frequently used in foundr>' construction. The glazing should be 
of a character to prevent the direct admission of sunlight. Ground 
glass, wire glas.'^ or glass wnth horizontal ribs afford a mellow light, 
relieving the eyes from the glare of direct sunUght. 



Heating and Ventilating 



579 



Artificial light for the early morning and late evening hours, during 
the season of short days, is best afforded by some adaptation of the 
electric lamp. Tungsten lamps in groups of four, distributed at inter- 
vals of about 40 feet are largely used. Such lamps are provided with 
reflectors to direct the rays downwards and diffuse them. The lamps 
must be placed so as to clear the crane ways, and should be elevated 
about 20 feet from the floor. The Cooper-Hewett mercury lamps, 
placed about 50 feet apart and covered with reflectors, are very satis- 
factory. The flaming arc lamps, similarly placed, furnish the greatest 
illumination for a given expenditure of current. 




Fig. 243. 

A recent type of kerosene burner, the Kauffman, having a mantel 
somewhat similar to the Wellsbach, is said to furnish a given candle 
power at less cost than any lamp known. 

With anj' system of hghting, care must be taken to keep the lamps 
clean and in good order, otherwise their efficiency is soon greatly im- 
paired. Where electric lights are used, the generators should be inde- 
pendent of those which furnish current to the motors. Power for fans, 
elevators, cranes, sand mixers, etc., is most conveniently supplied by 
electricity. Each machine should have an independent motor. Elec- 
tric trucks, operated by storage batteries, and magnetic hoists, for 
service in the foundry and yard are almost indispensable. In fact 
the introduction of electricity has so simplified foundry operations 
that its use is imperative. 

Heating and Ventilating 

Heating and ventilating the foundry are subjects which formerly 
received little attention. A few stoves or open fires in iron rings, placed 
where they would be least in the way, constituted the usual equipment; 
foundries fitted with steam heating or hot-air systems were exceptional. 



580 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation 

Gradually foundrymen have learned to appreciate the advantages of a 
n)mfi)rl;il)le working; lcmi)cralure and good ventilation, xs shown by 
increased output. A cold shop and chilled or jiarlly frozen sand heaps 
may easily reduce the value of a morning's work from 20 to 25 per cent. 
.\s foundry oix;rations re(juire active physical exertion, the temperature 
of the shop should not e.xceed 50° to 55" F. At 7 o'clock in the morning 
the building should be warm tluoughout. For this purix)se direct and 
vacuum steam heating systems are used with gcKxl results. Both are 
open to objections. The warm air is not evenly distributed; much of 
it is sent to the u()[)cr part of the building, where it docs no good. With 
either system several hours are required in extremely cold weather to 
produce a comfortable temperature in the morning. Cold air enters 
through the windows and doors, causing drafts and an uneven distribu- 
tion of heat. 

More satisfactory results are furnished by the fan and hot-blast system. 
This consists of a sheet-iron chamber, in which are placed the requisite 
number of coils heated cither Ijy direct or exhaust steam, if the latter 
is available, an exhaust fan and the distributing pipes. The fan draws 
the air over the coils and from the chamber and forces it about the build- 
ing through large ducts, from which branch pipes are taken at proper 
intervals; through these branches the warm air is discharged at the 
desired spots within the shop. This system is largely used and possesses 
advantages over those having direct radiation. 

The amount of heat absorbed by air flowing over pipes increases 
rapidly with the velocity of the air. When the velocity' of the air current 
flowing over the pipes in the heating chamber is about 1500 feet per 
minute (the usual velocity) the area of the heating surface required to 
accomplish a given heating effect is only about one-fifth that for direct 
radiation. With the fan and hot-blast system the building is filled 
with air under slight pressure, termed a plenum, which prevents cold air 
from entering; warm air flows out through all leaks. The warm air 
is discharged from the pipes near the floor, and uniformly distributed 
through the low,er part of the building. By reason of such distribution 
and the great volume of air discharged, the shop may be quickly warmed 
in the morning. If the fan is driven by an independent engine, the 
exhaust steam is sent directly to the coils, thereby making tlic expendi- 
ture for power nominal. Where live steam is not available for an engine 
the fan may be driven by a motor. With the motor-driven fan, the 
watchman can start the apparatus during exceedingly cold nights, anfl 
thereby prevent the sand heaps from freezing. The ducts are usually 
circular in section, made of galvanized iron and supported by the chords 
of the building so as to clear the crane way. 



Heating and Ventilating 



S8r 



The sketch below shows the usual arrangement for fans and ducts. 
In shops of moderate size, where but one fan is required, the ducts, of 
course, must run all around the building. 









Fig. 244. — Typical Arrangement of Heating and Ventilating System for 
Foundry with Unobstructed Craneway. 

From the ducts, discharge pipes are dropped at intervals of from 30 to 
40 feet. These usually terminate about 8 feet above the floor line, and 
leave the ducts at an angle of about 45°, inclined in the direction of the 



5S2 Water Supply, Lighting, Healing and N'cntilaiion 

air currents. Where the discharges are dropped as alx)ve slated, ihe 
open ends should incline about 20° from ihc vertical; they should 
alternately face the walls and the center bay. Six square inches of <Us- 
charge ojjening are ordinarily allowed for every icco cubic feet of space, 
and ihe aggregate area of the openings should be 25 per cent greater 
than the area of the ducts. From these data the size of the ducts may 
be calculated for any building of known dimensions. 

Underground ducts with vertical discharge jjijjes are desirable, as 
thc3' offer no obstruction to foundry operations, but they are quite 
expensive; the overhead ducts seem best to meet all requirements. 

Where steam or hot air is used for heating, the matter of ventilation 
requires no provision, except for that period of the day occupied in 
melting, as the leakages are suflicierrt to supply an abundance of fresh 
air. During the heat, vapor and gases rise in great volumes; to permit 
them to escape or to permit fresh air to enter, the swiveled windows in 
the monitor are opened. 

WTjere steam heat is employed, discomfort is occasionally experienced 
during cold or stormy weather, as the gases fall as soon as they begin 
to cool, and the vapor is condensed by the incoming air. With the hot- 
blast system this difficulty does not occur, since the plenum is sufficient 
to drive out the gases and vapor through the open windows. Mr. W. 
H. Carrier of the Buffalo Forge Company, Buffalo, N. Y., has discussed 
the subject of Foundry Heating and Ventilating so fully in a paper pre- 
sented at a meeting of the American Foundr>Tnen's Association, that 
advantage is taken of the opportunity presented through the courtesy 
of the Buffalo Forge Company to make extensive extracts therefrom: 
"The proper distribution of heat in the foundry is comparatively difficult. 
In general the problem is that of a large open space, affording little 
opportunity for efficient placing of direct radiation. On account ol 
the monitor type of building usually employed, there is relatively a 
great height. The hot air rises up into the lantern and passes out through 
the ventilators, if fans are not provided to deUver it near the floor. The 
heated column of air in the building serves to draw cold air from with- 
out at every opening. This inward leakage of cold air, not only de- 
mands a great amount of heat, but makes a thorough distribution of 
heat at the floor line most essential for comfort and economy of opera- 
tion. A sUght plenum, or outward leakage, of air at the doors and 
openings, caused by the delivery and proper distribution of sufficient 
heated air into the building is the only solution of the difficulty. Ample 
ventilation is at times most necessary. The lantern type of build- 
ing is best adapted to quickly ventilate, since the ventilators simply 
have to be opened to permit the hotter and Ughter gases and vapors 



Heating and Ventilating 583 

to pass out. External air must enter the building to replace that 
escaping through the ventilators. Cold air entering the doors and 
openings tends to cool and condense the rising vapors. It is there- 
fore essential that a system be installed which will deliver warmed 
fresh air during the pouring periods, when ventilation is of first im- 
portance. 

Rapid heating of the building in the morning means that the best 
efficiency from the men will be obtained over the entire working period. 
A system which is elastic, and which may be rapidly varied to suit the 
requirements is to be favored. Coke or gas fired salamanders are appar- 
ently the most economical means of heating, as all the heat goes directly 
into the building. The atmosphere in a tightly closed building heated 
by this method becomes intolerable, and if sufficient ventilation is 
provided to make conditions healthful, the amount of heat required is 
greater than with other systems. The grade of fuel used is also con- 
siderably more expensive than that used in other systems of heating, 
to say nothing of the care of a large number of separate fires scattered 
about the building. 

In heating with direct radiation, steam is usually employed, although 
hot-water systems with forced circulation have been successfully oper- 
ated. Unless there is a large amount of hot water available, it is not 
an economical system to employ, on" account of the greatly increased 
amount of radiating surface required at the lower temperature. In 
steam heating, the high pressure, the low pressure or the vacuum system 
of distribution may be used; the selection of the particular sj-stem 
depends on load conditions. Where high-pressure steam is available, 
and there is no exhaust steam, it should of course, be used. If, however, 
there is no high pressure or exhaust steam available from the power 
plant, then an independent low-pressure boiler should be installed, fur- 
nishing steam at from 5 pounds to 10 pounds pressure. For low-pressure 
work cast-iron boilers may be used; no boiler feed pumps are required. 
The boiler should be placed at a level low enough for the condensation 
to drain back by gravity. If this is impracticable, then a centrifugal 
pump may be employed to return the condensed water to the boiler. 
A vacuum system should always be used when exhaust steam from the 
power plant is available. In a vacuum system of distribution, the 
back pressure should not exceed i pound, as otherwise the losses will 
outweigh the gain. The fan sj'stem is undoubtedly the best for foundry 
heating and ventilating, and it is particularly adapted to the severe 
requirements of foundries, and other buildings of this construction, 
where there are large open spaces to be heated. The principal advantages 
of the fan system over direct radiation are: 



584 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and \'enlilation 

1. The thorough distribution of heat secured by discharging the air 
under pressure through suitable outlets, wnth suflicicnt velocity to 
ciirry the heat to the jxjints where it is most needed without causing 
jicrceptiblc draughts. 

2. No hc;it is wasted as in direct radiation, where a large part is sent 
directly through the walls, with slight effect upon the temiK-rature of 
the building. The fan system affords means of supplying heat directly 
to the interior of the building. 

3. No heat is wasted by heating unoccupied spaces, as along the roof 
and in the monitor. Tests of the fan system installed in foundries have, 
in certain instances, sho\vn lower temperatures in the monitors than at 
5 feet above the floor line. 

4. Fan systems heat up very much more rapidly in the morning, 
when it is desirable to bring up the temperature in as short time as 
IKJssible. 

5. It gives a rapid warm air change, which effectually removes 
smoke, steam and dust during pouring time; an effect possible only 
with a fan system. During such periods, when ventilation is required, 
the fresh and return air dampers should be adjusted to take all the air 
from out of doors. During the remainder of the day, however, the 
greater part of the air should be returned from the building to the 
apparatus, so that the heat required for ventilation may be the least 
possible. Precaution should always be taken to see that this feature 
is provided for. 

6. Fan systems cost less to install properh-, since the apparatus is 
centrally located, and it is not necessary to pipe the steam to all parts 
of the building as in direct radiation. 

7. The cost of maintenance is less, since the radiating surface of a 
direct system along the walls is frequentlj' damaged, while in the cen- 
trally-located fan apparatus, it is thoroughly protected. 

As in direct radiation, steam or hot water can be used in the fan 
system heater coils; but as the cool air is drawn over these coiLs by 
the fan, a great deal more heat is obtained from the same amount of 
heating surface. This permits the square feet of radiation to be re- 
duced about two-thirds. The fan is often driven by a direct -connected 
steam engine, the e.xhaust from which is used in the heater coils. This 
is an exceedingly economical method, as practically all of the heat of 
the steam is utilized. 

A new t>pe of fan heating system, which is ginng the highest degree 
of satisfaction, has been developed by the Buffalo Forge Company; this 
is the direct air furnace system. Instead of burning fuel under boilers, 
generatmg steam, transferring steam from boilers to heater coils through 



Heating and Ventilating 585 

a long riin of pipe, and finally giving up heat to air from the heater 
coils, this system transfers the heat of the burning fuel directly to the 
air for distribution. An efficiency of 85 to 90 per cent has actually 
been attained, as against the usual efficiency of 50 to 60 per cent derived 
from steam service. The Buffalo Forge Company has made many 
installations using gas for fuel, and recently erected one in which pow- 
dered coal was used. Fuel oil can also be employed. The construc- 
tion of the furnace is similar to that for a water tube boiler. The hot 
gasses pass through the tubes, a fan draws the circulating air around 
the tubes, by which it is heated, and then distributes it through the 
building. Fig. 244 shows one of these furnaces recently installed in an 
important factory in the West. The main hot air ducts from the fan 
are usually made of galvanized iron, and are carried in the roof trusses. 
When these ducts are placed at a height not exceeding 20 .feet, the air 
may be delivered directly into the building through short outlets. The 
design of these outlets is of particular importance to the success of the 
sj'stem. The velocity must be properly proportioned to the height, 
to the size of the outlet and to the horizontal distance which the air 
is to be blown. The greater the distance and height above the floor, 
and the smaller the outlets, the higher the velocity must be to obtain 
the proper distribution. On the other hand, if the velocity is exces- 
sive for these conditions, objectionable draughts will be produced. 

In some cases the main pipe has to be placed too far above the floor 
to permit good distribution of heat at the floor line with short outlets. 
In such cases it is usual to provide drop pipes from the main at the 
columns or along the side walls. Where the drop pipes are placed at 
the columns, each pipe is usually provided with two branches; one 
blowing toward the base of the windows at the side walls, the other 
blowing toward the center of the building. Where the drop pipes are 
extended downward at the side walls, it is usual to provide three outlets 
to each pipe, two blowing sidewise along the walls, and the third out- 
ward toward the center of the building. 

In wide buildings it is customary to run two lines of pipes along the 
columns on each side; while in narrower buildings it is possible to 
obtain an entirely satisfactory distribution of heat with one line of 
main pipe, having outlets so proportioned as to blow across the building 
to the further side. A very neat, though more expensive system of 
distribution is with underground main ducts, with galvanized iron 
vertical risers, arranged along the columns or side walls; or in some 
instances, as in particularly wide buildings, at both places. The system 
of outlets in this case will be practically the same as where drop pipes 
are used. Fans may be either motor or engine driven. When an 



s86 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation 

ul)undancc of exhaust steam is available for use in the heater coils, the 
molor-<lriven fan will be fount! the more economical and satisfactory. It 
is preferred liy many on account of the simi)iicity of ojieration and the 
slight care and attention required. Witii small fans it is gowl practice 
to clirect-conncct the motor to the fan; but with the larger apjiaratus 
the speed of operation is so low as to make it advisable to Ijelt-drive the 
fan, by reason of the high cost of slow speed motors. Engine-<lriven 
fans are advisable when moderately high jjressurc steam is available. 
The steam can be used to drive the fan and the exhaust is available for 
the heater coils. This method is exceedingly economical, since prac- 
tically all of the heat is utilized. 

The power used to drive the fan is almost negligible, as the engine is 
really little more than a pressure reducing valve. The speed of operation 
with engine drive is also much more fle.vible, allowing a wider range of 
speed, as may be necessitated by var}ing weather conditions. Direct 
radiation and the fan system of heating cost practically the same to 
install, the fan system as a rule being somewhat cheaper. Of course, 
with the fan system, the power necessary to drive the fan is additional, 
and it might seem that the operating expense would be somewhat more 
than with direct radiation; but the more equable distribution of heat by 
the fan system cuts down the losses and reduces the radiating surface 
materially. The operating expenses of the two systems, however, vary 
little in the long run."

CHAPTER XXVII 
FOUNDRY ACCOUNTS 

Any system of foundry accounting must be subject to variation in 
details to meet the requirements of different classes of work. 

A system suitable for a foundry producing pipe, car wheels or other 
standard work must be modified in some of its details to adapt it to 
the requirements of a jobbing foundry. The value of an accounting 
system, aside from determining the cost of production, lies in reducing 
the expenses and in pointing out by comparative analysis the direction 
in which reductions can be made. 

Cost keeping is too often neglected. Many foundrymen establishing 
prices, etc., by those of competitors, have absolutely no knowledge of 
actual costs. There are few branches of business in which the indirect 
expenses, those apart from the cost of material and labor, exceed those 
of the foundry. Only by constant comparison, by tracing increase or 
decrease from one period to another, and continually following lines 
indicating improved results, can the expenses be made to approach the 
minimum. 

An effective cost system must not only furnish accurate results, but 
must furnish them promptly, so as to permit ready and periodical com- 
parison. 

Prompt information as to any means of increasing production or of 
decreasing losses or costs greatly enhances its value. The system must 
not be so elaborate as to render it impractical, but simplicity must not 
be accompanied with neglect. One that is not accurately or system- 
atically followed is worse than useless. Any effective system requires a 
large amoimt of clerical work, but the results are profitable in the high- 
est degree. 

The one given below has been in satisfactory use by a large manu- 
facturing establishment, making castings for its own consumption. 

An order emanates from the management, going to the drawing room. 
There it is given a shop order number. A form bearing this number is 
fiUed out, showing the patterns required, the drawing number, pattern 
number and number of castings wanted from each pattern, date of 
deUvery from the foundry and any changes to be made. This form, 
No. I, passes to the Requisition Clerk, who makes a requisition in quad-

The foundry clerk fills in date of receipt, date for deliver)' of patterns

589 



In filling out the floor or casting date, the date of delivery, etc., the 
foundry clerk knows that only four cylinders can be made at each heat. 
He therefore fixes the date for completion at 3/31/ 10; this allows four 
days to provide for any contingencies. The Foundry Requisition is 
then filed under its floor date. 

At the end of each week the index cards up to that date are with- 
drawn from the front and passed to rear of card box. There are enough 
cards in the box to cover six months or a year as desired. 

Any unfilled orders at the end of the week are advanced to the first 
date of the coming week, so that the current orders are all at the front 
of the box. Each day the foreman and clerk spend time to select 
orders and make out a program for the next heat. 

As the orders are completed, each requisition with its supplementary 
orders is filed away for reference. 

The Foundry Pattern Loft is divided into two parts, one for uncom- 
pleted orders (Live End), and the other for completed orders (Dead 
End). 

The patterns are deUvered by Pattern shop at the Live End. 

A man from Pattern Storage has a book in which he takes receipts 
for patterns delivered. He also receipts for patterns which he removes 
from Dead End. 

Precisely the same system is pursued with core boxes. The Pattern 
Shop delivers and removes the boxes, taking and giving receipts. 

Attached to each pattern is a tag, on which all the data above the 
heavy line is made out in Pattern Shop: all below is filled out in Foundry.

On back of this card the withdrawals and corresponding dates are 
entered and balance cast up on face. 

The cards for sand, fire clay, etc., are the same as for coke, without 
the analysis. It is advisable, howe\er, to have these supplies analyzed 
ocaibionally.

* No. I is the furnace analysis; No. 2, that of the foundry chemist. 

The Heat Book is given on page 592. In this book the foreman enters 
for the coming heat the irons which are to be used and the mixture. 
The remainder of the account may be filled out later by the clerk after 
returns are made. This book is of the greatest importance as it enables 



592 



Foundry Accounts 



the foreman to repeal at once any mixture lused at any time, or for any 
particular purjiosc. 

The sheet shown is for the Iicat of 2/22/ from which 4 cylinders arc 
to be poured and a special charge (the first) containing 10 per cent steel 
scrap is made. The cylinders weigh al>out 500 pounds each, and as 
there arc crank disc and other castings requiring strong iron, the entire 
first charge will contain steel. 

The charges arc 4000 pounds each, and the mi.vturc is uniform through- 
out the heat, except for first and last charges. Turning to the Pig Iron 
Book, the foreman selects such iron as will furnish the desired mi.xture 
for cylinders, also those for the remaining charges and enters them on 
the heat book. A memorandum is given the boss of the yard gang, 
showing the car numbers and the amount of iron from each car for each 
charge. 

The number of charges for the ordinarj- mixture is left blank until 
later in the day, when the total amount to be melted is ascertained. 

The weighman has a pad of forms upon which he prepares a slip for 
each charge giving the car number, weight of iron from each car, weight 
of coke and lime. 

Each charge of iron is piled by itself on cupola platform in regular 
order. The coke with limestone is sent up in cars as the charging of 
cupola proceeds.

I'rom the moulder's tags, turned in on the zand, and from information 
oblaini'd from the floor concerning work on lag-, which luivc uot lux-n 
turned in, the clerk |>rci)ares in part, du|,>licate cleaning rcxim reix)rts. 
He enters the shop order nimilR-rs, pattern numl)ers, names of parLs 
and numljer of |)arts made. Tliis re|>ort then goes to forcm;in of clean- 
in>^ room, who com|>letes it, sending one copy to the foundry oflicc and 
tlie other to the work's olTice. 

The form is given on page 597. As many sheets as are necessary are 
used for each heat. 

The Time Book, Weigh Tickets, Foundry Returns and Cleaning Room 
Report furnish all the data, except analysis and test, for completion 
of entrj' in heat book for 3 22 10. Information as to the last two items 
is obtained from time to time iis required. The heat report is made out 
in duplicate; original sent to Works Ofl'ice and du[)licate filed in Foundrj'. 
This is followed by a weekly summary. At the end of each month an 
inventory is taken of all supplies; and their cost, jjer hunflred pounds 
good castings, is determined for the month passed. This cost is used in 
making out foundry reports for the succeeding month. 

All supplies except the bulky materials, such as sand, fire clay, etc. 
are kept in store room and are issued upon requisition from foremen 
or clerk, upon blanks as per sketch. 



Requisition on Dale, 3/21/10. 

Store Keeper, Issue to 

Jno. SULLrV'AN, 
5 Pounds Silver Lead. 

W.M. Wilson. Foreman. 



These requisitions, together with tallies of sand, fire clay, etc., are 
turned into office by store keeper at end of month. 

Careful scrutiny and comparison of these monthly statements and 
expenditures result in marked savings. They promote among the 
departments a strife for the lowest record. The reduction in the amount 
of core supplies, nails, rods and sand is especially noticeable. 

As regards iron flasks and other castings made for the foundrj-, if 
they are for permanent equipment, ihcy are so charged. If on the 
other hand they are for temporary service, they are charged to foundr>- 
at cost of labor, plus the difference between the cost of good castings 
and scrap. 

Monthly comparisons, or more frequent if desired, are made with 
statements from the works office. Comparisons arc likewise made at 
the end of the fiscal year.

The system of accounting as above described has been followed for 
some years by one of the western foundries, with excellent results. It 
involves considerable clerical work, but one clerk can handle it. 

Some modifications are required to adapt it to a jobbing foundry. 
These arc indicated at once and are readily made. 

As showing different methods of foundry accounting, each having its 
advantages and disadvantages, papers presented on the subject to the 
.American Foundrymen's .Association by Mr. B. A. Franklin and Mr. J. 
P. Golden are given. . . One can be developed from the lot which will 
meet any requirement. 



AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 
Foundry Costs 
By B. a. Franklin, Boston, Mass. 
"... Form I illustrates the first method of foundry cost showing: 
The operations are divided into the elements of 



Melting. 



Moulding

3. Melting E.xpense.

9. Tumbling Expense. 13. Sand Blasting Expense. 



Foundry Costs 613 

Section D 
14. Core Labor. 15. Core Expense. 

Section E 
16. General Expense. 

"In discussing this system no attempt is made to discuss the method 
of getting the information because such methods are simple and easily 
worked out." 

"The Basic Costs are illustrated in Form i, which shows the weekly 
operation of the foundry as a whole, and Form 2 represents the cost of 
an actual casting. Form 3 represents the monthly foundry showing 
of profit and loss, offering means of proof of the foundry cost and show- 
ing the net result. " 

". . .As nearly as possible foundry shop economy demands, and 
foundry work permits a daily clean-up, though, of course, some oper- 
ations happen one day after the beginning. " 

"A foundry cost might then be a daily record sheet. Weekly records, 
however, are sufficient generally, and the one presented is on this 
basis. " 

Form i 

"Section A. Deals with metal." 

"Here is shown, separately for each different mixture, of which one 
foundry might generally employ two or three, the weights and value 
of iron charged. These weights may readily be proved by checking 
as each car or lot of scrap is used up. In the case of scrap made in the 
foundry or 'own scrap' no value is put on this since it is put into the 
heat in an iron foundry, on the basis that scrap made on each heat will 
be approximately the same per cent, and what is made one day is gathered 
up and used the next day. The exception to this is in the case of 'bad 
castings,' charged at scrap value, and, as seen later, accounted for in 
casting cost." 

"In a Steel Foundry it would be necessary to change all scrap at 
scrap value and credit same to particular castings. " 

"The 'metal-used' value is shown and the pounds melted, but the 
'metal cost' is obtained by dividing, not by poimds melted, but by 
pounds of 'castings made'^ — i.e., good and bad castings. The bad 
castings are to be charged to the particular order as will be seen later. 
We thus arrive at a weekly metal cost for each mixture. " 

"Likewise for purposes of general guidance, there is shown weekly 
the 'per cent, of good castings to melt,' the 'per cent of bad castings 



6i4 Foundry Accounts 

to castings made,' and the per cent of metal disappearance or 'per cent 
of loss.' " 

"Now for management guidance toward general shop economy, 
these figures present standards and bases for striving for lower costs — 
viz., to make the percentage of good castings to the melt as high as 
possible, to make the |)ercenlagc of bad castings to castings made as 
low as i>ossible, and the record will cjuickly show that the cost fluctuates 
with these conditions. " 

"And it will be found that melting and handling of metal and fuel 
can be done on piece work to bring best economy in metal-cost." 

"A definite and valuable i)oint to note is that in addition to the 
weekly figure of cost per pound, there is carried along the average or 
'period cost per j)ound. ' This is the figure to be used in cost work. 

"... The weekly figures are constantly compared with the i)eriod 
figures showing whether the weekly result is belter or worse than the 
average, and an observation of the detail shows why. ..." 

"In each section it will be noted that the costs are brought down to a 
few \-ital imits or percentages, and when these vary, they are significant 
of a gain or loss in economy of production, the reason for which can be 
readily observed by casting the eye up the details and observing the 
comparison of them." 

"... Section B. Moulding. — Here are two elements to be con- 
sidered — productive labor and expense. The expense is shown in 
relation to productive labor. It may be sho\\Ti in relation to hours if 
desired, but in each class of moulding labor there is generally no great 
fluctuation of rate per hour. ..." 

"The productive labor and expense should be kept separately as to 
class of moulding, as floor, bench, machine, etc., since the expense varies 
considerably with the class. " 

" . . .A little thought and experiment would seem to show that on 
the whole the expenses approximately vary according to time spent in 
productive labor rather than by the pound." 

"In the matter of productive labor it is to be understood that 
money paid for moulding each job, whether day work or piece work, 
is to be known and used in figuring definite casting, as shown in 
Form 2." 

"It is in this productive labor cost that the first element of variation 
in casting costs is to be found, the expense percentage being the same or 
taken as the same, except in the matter of certain direct charges or 
expenses to be discussed later. " 



Foundry Costs 615 

"Section C. Cleaning Castings. — In the matter of cleaning castings 
there must be some division. Tumbling, pickling, and sand blasting 
are taken separately as shown below. This leaves for consideration 
here the cleaning of castings by other than these three methods and 
applies mainly to large castings. ..." 

". . . In Timibling the labor can best be put on piece work and will 
generally be done by the pound, and expenses will be shown by the 
pound. ..." 

"In Sand Blasting and Pickling the expenses are shown in relation to 
productive labor, and the work can be put on piece work. ..." 

"Section D. Core Room. — Here the labor can in the main be put 
on f)iece work and the expenses shown in detail. ..." 

"Section E. . . . General Expenses. — This is shown in relation to 
productive labor, the items of productive labor being those of Moulding, 
Core Making and Cleaning operations. 

"... Thus we arrive at certain weekly and period basic figures of 
cost in the main elements in the foundry of 

Metal. Core Making. 

Moulding. General Expenses. 

Cleaning. 

"The items of metal and expense are easily provable with the books 
monthly, and the labor with the pay roll weekly, so that we get a proved 
weekly picture of the foundry situation as compared with average or 
period, and we get it in such detail as will show the reasons of all varia- 
tions of operation. ..." 

"Consideration of Casting Cost. The first element to consider is 
that of direct charges. In many jobs, but by no means all of them, 
are certain charges which it seems desirable should be charged directly 
to the particular order. They need in most foundry work be very small 
in number. These charges must essentially be gathered and held until 
the job is shipped and cost ready to work out. " 

Form 2 

"Form 2 illustrates this final casting cost." 

"In all castings finished in a given period, the varying elements of 
unit cost would be purely the productive labor items of moulding and 
cleaning and direct charges, the metal, fuel, melting, moulding, cleaning 
and general expense charges being taken from the period figures on the 
weekly cost sheet." 

"Therefore, in working out the cost of a finished casting, it is essential 
to know of it as a particular job; the weight — and the shipping slip 



(h6 Foundry Arcniinls 

Rives that ; the moiikiinR and core making lalwr and the cleaning labor, 
where average rates |)er ]M)und are not ased. " 

"... Direct charges are added and also loss on bad castings. A 
record of bad ca.stings is necessary and sim|)le." 

"On bad castings the loss would dei)cnd on how far the work had 
[)rogrcsscd when discovered as bad, and what work on them had been 
paid for. The metal, of course, would be credited at scrap value." 

" By this method then it will be obser\'ed that with very small clerical 
labor, the practical foundryman or manager gets a weekly, or daily, 
if he so designs, view of his foundry costs and their fluctuations which 
form a definite and correct basis for accurate estimate, and he can very 
quickly get a particular job or casting cost by having the money sjxjnt 
on moulding and cleaning, etc., gathered." 

"The Cost System settled, the bookkeeping should l)c made to parallel 
the cost system, in which case the monthly showing would be made to 
show as per Form 3." 

"Thus is obtained a complete monthly analj'sis. In most foundries 
one clerk and almost invariably two, can operate the system as far as 
costs are concerned."

A SUCCESSFUL FOUNDRY COST SYSTEM 

By J. P. Golden, Columbus, Ga. 
"... The system consists of, first: a Daily Cupola Report, the 
printed form ha\-ing column for charge, number of pounds coke and 
brand, pounds pig iron and brand, and per cent silicon and sulphur, 
scrap, foreign and returns, and total charge also Unes for weekly totals 
for use in weekly report. Ratio of coke to iron. Time blast started. 
Time bottom dropped. Average blast pressure. Per cent sulphur in 
heat. Per cent silicon in heat. Remarks. With each sheet signed by 
foreman. 



626 I'oundry Accounts 

"Second: The Daily Foundry Rc(X)rt, which is made up by the 
RumhlinK Room foreman. This rc|>ort consists of a sheet, with columns 
for name of moulder, hour or piece rate, number of moulds, numl)er of 
castings, time of helper, pattern description with columns for weights 
of the various classes of work, as pulleys, sheaves, hangers, hanger 
boxes, pillow blocks, couplings, cane mills, factories, miscellaneous, 
etc. Also column for number of pieces lost, total weight of each kind 
of piece lost, and a cause column for same, showing if it did not run, if 
it was crushed, blowed, or whatever cause of defect. There is a line 
at bottom of sheet for weekly totals to be used in weekly report. The 
daily foundry report furnishes a ready means of comparison of each 
moulder's record, with his own, or with other moulders as to quantitj* of 
good castings, castings lost, weight and cost of same. This reix)rt also 
shows the amount of good and bad castings for each day, in each class, 
with the weekly total for each. 

"Third: There is a book for defective and other castings returned 
from shop and customers, in which is the following rule: 

'All castings returned by machine shop and cxistomers, before 
being made over, must be entered in this book, gi\nng cause for 
making over. Castings returned to foundry' from shop or cus- 
tomers, through no fault of foimdry, must not be deducted from 
net foundry castings, and should be considered as foreign scrap. 
If fault of foundry, they are charged back to foundry and are con- 
sidered as foundry return scrap.' 

This book has columns for showing date returned, by whom, descrif>- 
tion, cause and weight. Without this book, there could be returned 
defective castings, which were the foundry's fault and made over with- 
out the superintendent's knowledge. With the "to be made over" 
casting book, all castings returned are specified therein. If the fault 
of the machine shop, it is so stated. If returned from customers, this 
is noted with date, description, cause and weight. No casting is made 
over without being recorded in this book. This book, being always open 
to superintendent and foreman, saves inquiries and explanations. . . . 

"Fourth: The Weekly Foundr>' Report Sheet. This sheet is made 
up from the daily foundr>' report, and cupola sheets and the book (to 
be made over castings). On this sheet, provision is made for record 
of bad castings returned from foundry, shop or customer, by classes, 
as well as the good castings made. The total of good castings minus 
defective castings gives net good castings for week. The average per 
cent of all castings lost is given, with the per cent loss in each class, with 
the total pounds pig and foreign scrap charged in cupola, and the net 



A Successful Foundry Cost System 627 

good castings deducted therefrom, we find the per cent lost in remelt, 
cupola droppings, gangways, etc. The weekly foundry report also has 
a record of total melt taken from daily cupola sheet, which with net 
good castings deducted gives per cent, bad castings, gates, etc., of total 
melt, including foreign scrap, returns and pig. In a division headed 
cupola charge is given the number of pounds pig iron, foreign scrap and 
coke, with current price of each and total cost per week. To these 
amoimts are added the total wages, giving a total of material and wages 
for week, which divided by the net good castings gives the cost per 
100 pounds, net castings, including pig iron, scrap, coke, wages. 

"The weekly report also has separate divisions for non-producers, 
rumbling department, moulding department, core shop, day and night 
cleaning gangs, in which the wages of each class of men in each division 
are given separately, by total, and the wage cost per hundred pounds. 
. . . The weekly report also embodies the grand total wages cost per 
100 poimds, and this is the most important item, for both foreman and 
superintendent, for this item is one which the foreman can control to 
the greatest extent, and which speaks the loudest in favor of the system. " 

"... In connection with the weekly report is a detailed report of 
the pounds of good castings, to whom sold or charged, and price for each 
lot, and from this sheet is prepared, on the back of the weekly report, 
a statement giving the estimated profit or loss for week." 

"And lastly, there is a ready reference sheet (headed Comparison of 
Per cents, Wages Cost per 100 Pounds in Different Departments of 
Foundry from Weekly Foundry Report) giving the comparison by 
weeks and the average comparison at the end of each year of the fol- 
lo\ving items after date. Net good castings for week, castings killed, 
in machine shop with columns for the per cent loss of each of the several 
classes of castings, each class in a separate column, gives a ready means 
of comparison in that class for all of its weeks. 

"There are also columns for the cost per week per 100 pounds, net 
castings including pig iron, scrap, coke and wages, the wage cost per 
100 pounds, in the non-producers, rumbling and moulding departments, 
also the core shop, day and night cleaning gangs with a colimin for 
grand total wage cost per 100 pounds. 

"Both the superintendent and foreman have access to the several 
reports giving each the means of knowdng the actual conditions in all 
departments of the foundry at all times. 

"This system gives the foreman the means of remedying a small or 
defective output by the knowledge of the cause producing it, and to 
place each moulder upon the class of work to which he is best fitted to 
increase the general output."

Castings To Be Made Over 



629 



"... The system furnishes a basis for closer estimates than formerly 
upon work a little out of the usual run, bj'' knowing exactly what prices 
can be accepted for the regular work. The foundry foreman in this 
case is allowed nominal control of the foundry, hiring and discharging 
his men, fixing their wages, and increases in pay for his men are by his 
recommendations subject to approval of superintendent. ..." 



SAMPLE SHEET FROM "CASTINGS RETURNED FROM 
SHOP AND CUSTOMERS, TO BE MADE OVER." 

Note: All castings returned by machine shop and customers, before 
being made over, must be entered in this book, stating cause for being 
made over. 

Castings returned to foundry from shop or customers, through no 
fault of foundry, must not be deducted from net foundry castings, but 
should be considered as foreign scrap; but if fault of foundry, they 
should be charged back to foundry, and considered as foundry return 
scrap. 

All castings returned by shop or customers, in excess of number 
ordered, will be charged to foundry the same as defective castings, and 
placed in foundry return scrap, unless otherwise ordered by superin- 
tendent.

CHAPTER XXVIII 

PIG IRON DIRECTORY 

The Classification and Directory of Pig Iron Brands given herewith 
are taken from Professor Porter's Report. 

"Pig Iron is classified as: 
First. — Cold, Warm or Hot Blast. 
Second. — Coke, Anthracite or Charcoal. 
Third. — Sand or Machine. 
Fourth. — Basic, Bessemer, Malleable, Foundry or Forge. 

"It is only necessary to define the fourth classification as the others 
are self-explanatory. " 

" Basic iron means primarily one with low silicon. The standard for 
this grade having silicon under i per cent and sulphur under 0.05 per 
cent." 

"Bessemer iron means primarily phosphorus under i per cent. Stand- 
ard Bessemer contains from i to 1.25 per cent silicon with sulphur 
under 0.05, but the grade is essentially based on low phosphorus. Irons 
with extra low phosphorus and variable silicon are sometimes designated 
as low phosphorus irons." 

" Foundry and Forge Irons embrace practically everything in the way 
of ordinary iron, these grades being subdivided on the basis of silicon 
and sulphur content." 

"The following subclassification of Foundry and Forge iron has been 
agreed upon by the blast furnace interests of the districts indicated:

Note. — If sulphur is in excess of maximum, it is graded as lower 
grade, regardless of silicon. 

"Charcoal is not as a rule graded according to the above table but is 
sold by fracture, by analysis, by chill tests, or by some special s\-stem 
of grading according to the custom of the maker and demand of the 
purchaser. " 

" It will be noted that so far as Foundry iron is concerned the grading 
system is based exclusively on silicon and sulphur. One reason for 
this is that the phosphorus and manganese are fixed by the composition 
of the ores used, whereas the silicon and sulphur can be varied at will 
by slight changes in the method of operating the furnace. Since in 
many, perhaps, the majority of, cases a blast furnace will be limited 
to a very few ores as a source of supply, it follows that it will be limited 
also in the range of phosphorus and manganese in the iron it produces. 
For this reason, a given l^rand of iron will usuall}' run fairly constant 
as regards phosphorus and manganese, although its silicon and sulphur 
can be varied at the wish of the management. However, this condition, 
while common, is not universal, for some concerns possess a variet>' of 
ores and can by mi.xing them produce iron of any composition desired. 



Coke and Anthracite Irons 635 

"In using this directory please bear in mind that it is not infallible. 
Much of the data has been difficult to get, a few concerns refusing abso- 
lutely to furnish information. Again, in some cases time brings changes 
in ownership and character of ore supply, etc., and of course, these 
things will affect the character of the product. In spite of these defic- 
iencies, however, it is believed that the following tables represent the 
most accurate information along these lines available at the present 
time and that they will be found of considerable value." 

"Finally, it must be emphasized that the use of the data is not to tell 
the foundryman the exact analysis of any carload of any brand, but 
rather to help him locate those brands which have, or can be made to 
have a composition suitable for his work. " 

"In these' tables the percentage of sulphur is not usually given. It 
should be understood that all furnaces strive for, and usually obtain, 
low sulphur in their iron. Practically all foundry grades are sold on the 
understanding that the sulphur is under 0.05 per cent and hence no 
useful purpose is served in giving the sulphur range except in a very 
few cases where it normally runs unusually low."
